With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Purplish Bark Moth sighting in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 337th 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.
February–April, September–October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Purplish Bark Moth in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, May–August and November, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Purplish Bark Moth 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 Purplish Bark Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Purplish Bark Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Blue Mountains National Park (15 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.
