With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Linear Bug sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 567th most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, May–June, September and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Linear Bug in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April, July–August and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Linear Bug sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Linear Bug sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Linear Bug that you can see in Daintree National Park (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Dodd's Bunyip (about 20%), Marbled Bottle Cicada (about 20%) and Pternistria bispina (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Linear Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (9 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.
