Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Spiny Devil Katydid sighting in Yasuní National Park on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 19th most-seen of the 203 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spiny Devil Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Yasuní National Park (30 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.
