With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Aedes kochi sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 279th most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Aedes kochi in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March, July and November, the lowest months. That is one of Daintree National Park's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 380 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Aedes kochi sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Daintree National Park, in our data
Daintree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Aedes kochi sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Culicidae
The closest relatives of the Aedes kochi that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Culicidae, Mosquitoes) are Toxorhynchites speciosus (about 10%) and Coquillettidia xanthogaster (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aedes kochi is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (14 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.
