With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Palpita horakae 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 279th 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.
June and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Palpita horakae in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and October–November, the lowest months.

Only Daintree National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Palpita horakae 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.
