With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Myriostephes leucostictalis sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 745th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Myriostephes leucostictalis in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–May and July–November, the lowest months. That is one of Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain against 50 mm in September.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Myriostephes leucostictalis 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 Myriostephes leucostictalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Myriostephes leucostictalis that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Tetrernia teminitis (about 20%), Bean Leafroller (about 20%) and Banded Pearl (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Myriostephes leucostictalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (5 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.
