With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dysaethria plicata sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 228th 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.
February
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Dysaethria plicata in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August–October and December–January, the lowest months.

Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dysaethria plicata 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 Dysaethria plicata is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (17 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.
