Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Headed Spider Ant sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Red-Headed Spider Ant sightings, Booderee National Park ranks 3rd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Royal National Park (Australia, about 20%) and Blue Mountains National Park (Australia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Headed Spider Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Booderee National Park (10 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.
