Austrogomphus prasinus
In 3 days ~30% in a week ~60%
Austrogomphus prasinus, also known as Austrogomphus (Pleiogomphus) prasinus, is a species of dragonfly of the family Gomphidae, commonly known as the lemon-tipped hunter. It inhabits streams and rivers in northern Queensland, Australia.
Austrogomphus prasinus is a medium-sized, black and yellow dragonfly. The genus name Austrogomphus combines the prefix austro- (from Latin auster, meaning “south wind”, hence “southern”) with Gomphus, a genus name derived from Greek γόμφος (gomphos, “peg” or “nail”), alluding to the clubbed shape of the abdomen in males.
The species name prasinus is Latin for "leek-green", or from Greek πράσινος (prasinus, "green"), referring to the green markings on the head and thorax, emphasising its difference from Austrogomphus arbustorum and Austrogomphus arenarius.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lemon-Tipped Hunter sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 208th 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.
January
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Lemon-Tipped Hunter in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May to August, the lowest months. That is one of Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 380 mm of rain against 50 mm in September.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lemon-Tipped Hunter sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Daintree National Park, in our data
Daintree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lemon-Tipped Hunter sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lemon-Tipped Hunter is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (18 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.
