Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black Rose sighting in Bako National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 23rd most-seen of the 33 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.

In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Black Rose in Bako National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–April, June–July and October–November, the lowest months.

Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Black Rose sightings, Bako National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Kinabalu Park (Malaysia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Rose is recorded against all the insects logged in Bako 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.
