With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Leucania yu sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 254th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and June
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Leucania yu in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–March and October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leucania yu 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

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leucania yu is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (16 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.
