Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Dodd's Bunyip sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 46th most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and February
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Dodd's Bunyip in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and August, the lowest months. Those are among Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 310 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 Dodd's Bunyip sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: 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 Dodd's Bunyip sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dodd's Bunyip is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (43 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.
