With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cupido nisa sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 745th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, March and May–June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cupido nisa in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April and July–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 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cupido nisa sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Daintree National Park, in our data
Daintree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cupido nisa sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Cupido nisa that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Tailed Green-Banded Line Blue (about 30%), Large Green-Banded Blue (about 20%) and Shining Oak-Blue (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cupido nisa is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (5 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.
