With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Choreutis basalis sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 194th most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–March, May and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Choreutis basalis in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July–September and December, the lowest months. Those are among Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain a month against 50 mm in September.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Choreutis basalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and 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 Choreutis basalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Choreutis basalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (19 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.
