Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a California Anglewing sighting in Yosemite National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 159th most-seen of the 227 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a California Anglewing in Yosemite National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–August and November, the lowest months. That is one of Yosemite National Park's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain against 25 mm in September.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most California Anglewing sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate California Anglewing sightings, Yosemite National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (United States, about 10%).
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the California Anglewing that you can see in Yosemite National Park (family Tettigoniidae, Katydids) are Mormon Cricket (about 10%) and Alpine Shieldback (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the California Anglewing is recorded against all the insects logged in Yosemite National Park (7 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.
