Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Ambulyx wildei sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 78th most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December to February
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Ambulyx wildei in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August, the lowest month. Those are among Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain a month against 50 mm in September.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ambulyx wildei sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 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 Ambulyx wildei sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ambulyx wildei is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (32 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.
