Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asota orbona sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 44 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 47th 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.
April and May
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Asota orbona in Daintree National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February, September and November, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asota orbona 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 Asota orbona sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Asota
The closest relatives of the Asota orbona that you can see in Daintree National Park (genus Asota) are Asota heliconia (about 20%) and Tropical Tiger Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asota orbona is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (44 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.
