Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Magpie Moth sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 54 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 34th most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Magpie Moth in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October to March, the lowest months. Those are among Daintree National Park's driest months, with about 95 mm of rain a month against 380 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Magpie Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
3rd of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Asian Magpie Moth sightings, Daintree National Park ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Kerinci Seblat National Park (Indonesia, about 30%) and Lamington National Park (Australia, about 20%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Asian Magpie Moth that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asota orbona (about 20%), Imperial Fruit Sucking Moth (about 20%) and Asota heliconia (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Magpie Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (54 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.
