With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Etanna clopaea sighting in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 294th most-seen of the 789 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Etanna clopaea in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and December–March, the lowest months. Those are among Blue Mountains National Park's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against 150 mm in March.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Etanna clopaea sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Etanna clopaea sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nolidae
The closest relatives of the Etanna clopaea that you can see in Blue Mountains National Park (family Nolidae, Tufted Moths) are Patched Tuft Moth (about 10%), Calathusa basicunea (about 10%) and Detounda leptoplasta (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Etanna clopaea is recorded against all the insects logged in Blue Mountains National Park (18 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.
