In 3 days ~20% in a week ~50%
Neochera dominia is a species of moth in the family Erebidae. It is found from the Indo-Australian tropics from India to Queensland and the Solomons. The wingspan of an adult Neochera dominia ranges from 68 to 72 mm. They have a characteristic bluish gray ground color forewing, bold white streaking on the veins and pure white ground color hindwing, with bluish black spots in terminal area (which can be seen in the example picture in the infobox). In the male reproductive organ, the saccus is rectangular, with upside somewhat more narrow, with a nearby sclerotized semi-circular spur. The larvae feed on Marsdenia species.
As of 2016, the only sample of these species are collected in Bokor, Cambodia in 2013. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Neochera dominia sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 402nd 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Neochera dominia in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March and June–November, the lowest months. That is one of Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 240 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 Neochera dominia 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
Daintree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Neochera dominia sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Neochera dominia that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asian Magpie Moth (about 20%), Asota orbona (about 20%) and Imperial Fruit Sucking Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Neochera dominia is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (10 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.
