With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima jordani 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 173rd 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.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima jordani in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–January, the lowest months. That is one of Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 330 mm of rain against 50 mm in September.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eudocima jordani 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
Daintree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eudocima jordani sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eudocima jordani 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.
