Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Chequered Snout sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 71st 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.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Chequered Snout in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and February, the lowest months. That is one of Daintree National Park's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 380 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chequered Snout sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Chequered Snout sightings, Daintree National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Odzala-Kokoua National Park (Republic of the Congo, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chequered Snout is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (36 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.
