Discover the Tiny Wonders: Insect Watching in Goa with Untamed West Birding

Goa is often celebrated for its beaches, birds, and backwaters—but few realize that it’s also a goldmine for insect biodiversity. At Untamed West Birding, we offer guided insect watching in Goa that opens your eyes to the fascinating world of bugs, beetles, butterflies, and beyond.

Whether you’re a macro photographer, a wildlife enthusiast, or just curious about nature’s smallest architects, our insect walks are designed to give you a deeper, often overlooked, connection with the wild.

Why Go Insect Watching in Goa?

Goa’s tropical forests and wetlands provide the perfect environment for an incredible variety of insects. From vibrantly colored mantises and camouflaged stick insects to rare moths and glowing fireflies, insect watching in Goa is a true treasure hunt—especially during the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons.

We run dedicated walks and night trails where you’ll get to:

  • Observe beautiful butterflies and moths

  • Learn about the roles of beetles, ants, and other insects in the ecosystem

  • Witness rare species that are hard to find without expert guidance

  • Capture stunning macro photographs in their natural habitats
