With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acropolitis hedista sighting in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 456th most-seen of the 789 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.
February–March, August–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acropolitis hedista in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–July, October and December–January, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Acropolitis hedista 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 Blue Mountains National Park, in our data
Blue Mountains National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Acropolitis hedista sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acropolitis hedista is recorded against all the insects logged in Blue Mountains National Park (11 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.
