With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Homona mermerodes sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 123rd most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Homona mermerodes in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March and October–December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Homona mermerodes 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 Homona mermerodes sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tortricidae
The closest relatives of the Homona mermerodes that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Tortricidae, Tortricid Leafroller Moths) are Caenognosis incisa (about 10%), Loboschiza martia (about 10%) and Trymalitis optima (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Homona mermerodes is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (28 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.
