Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Brunia dorsalis sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 85th 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.
March
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Brunia dorsalis in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November and December, the lowest months. That is one of Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 330 mm of rain against 50 mm in September.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brunia dorsalis 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 Brunia dorsalis sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Brunia dorsalis that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asian Magpie Moth (about 20%), Asota orbona (about 20%) and Imperial Fruit Sucking Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brunia dorsalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (31 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.
