With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hipoepa fractalis sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 162nd 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.
April, June–August and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Hipoepa fractalis in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March and November, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hipoepa fractalis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Hipoepa fractalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Hipoepa fractalis that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asian Magpie Moth (about 20%), Asota orbona (about 20%) and Imperial Fruit Sucking Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hipoepa fractalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (20 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.
