With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Notodontid sighting in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 213th 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.
January
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Notodontid in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–August and October, the lowest months. That is one of Blue Mountains National Park's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain against 40 mm in May.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden Notodontid 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 Golden Notodontid sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Notodontidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden Notodontid is recorded against all the insects logged in Blue Mountains National Park (20 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.
