Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Rice-Leafroller sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 90th 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.
April and May
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Rice-Leafroller in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March and September–October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lesser Rice-Leafroller sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Lesser Rice-Leafroller sightings, Daintree National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Booderee National Park (Australia, about 10%) and Blue Mountains National Park (Australia, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lesser Rice-Leafroller is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (29 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.
