With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cirrhochrista punctulata sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 402nd most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cirrhochrista punctulata in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August and December–June, the lowest months. Those are among Daintree National Park's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain a month against 380 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cirrhochrista punctulata sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Daintree National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cirrhochrista punctulata is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (10 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.
