The mana cost for hard-casting seems too low.
A cool thing with sighting you could do is put the card N cards from the top of the library to avoid shuffling and also make it so early sightings lead to repeat sightings. You'd need to be careful about repetitiveness though.
Mmm, this is at last a bear for
which is too cheap. There's also no reason to ever evoke it, since it's no cheaper.
Apart from that - I've no idea what the theme behind giant stick insects is. Granting a +1 is a perfectly reasonable thing for a small green creature to do, though.
Fixed the cost, that was always a typo. I just thought a stickbug was neat! Made for a good cryptid in Disco Elysium, thought it could work here too. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do with Sighting, but I'm also not quite happy with it yet.
