Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Tanguru Chafer sighting in Abel Tasman National Park on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 64 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Tanguru Chafer in Abel Tasman National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to November, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tanguru Chafer sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Abel Tasman National Park, in our data
Abel Tasman National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tanguru Chafer sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Tanguru Chafer that you can see in Abel Tasman National Park (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Manuka Beetle (about 10%) and Large Sand Scarab (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tanguru Chafer is recorded against all the insects logged in Abel Tasman 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.
