Choeradodis stalii
In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Choeradodis stalii is a species of praying mantis with common names that include tropical shield mantis, hooded mantis, and leaf mantis. It is found in Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Panama, and Peru. Nymphs of this species are born with a bright red color distinguishing them from other Choeradodis spp. Even at early instars, they display somewhat of a hood. Each time the larvae moult, they grow more greenish and their hood grows larger, until they reach adulthood. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Choeradodis stalii sighting in Yasuní National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 36th most-seen of the 203 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Choeradodis stalii in Yasuní National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–April and June, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Choeradodis stalii sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Yasuní National Park, in our data
Yasuní National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Choeradodis stalii sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Choeradodis stalii is recorded against all the insects logged in Yasuní National Park (19 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
