With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Risoba obstructa sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 6 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 and January
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Risoba obstructa in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months. Those are among Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 340 mm of rain a month against 50 mm in September.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Risoba obstructa sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Risoba obstructa sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nolidae
The closest relatives of the Risoba obstructa that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Nolidae, Tufted Moths) are Acatapaustus mesoleuca (about 10%), Aiteta iridias (about 10%) and Negeta contrariata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Risoba obstructa is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (6 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.
