Tituacia deviella
In 3 days ~20% in a week ~40%
Hypatima deviella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India (the Andaman Islands), on Borneo, Java and Sulawesi, as well as in Australia (Queensland).
Adults are cinereous whitish, the forewings with thirteen black points, three near the base, four placed quadrately in the interior disc, three forming a more distinct cluster in the exterior disc and three on the exterior border. Of these last, the middle one is much larger than the others. There is a fawn-coloured streak along the middle part of the costa. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tituacia deviella sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 7 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
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Tituacia deviella in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–May, July and October–November, the lowest months. That is one of Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 330 mm of rain against 50 mm in September.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tituacia deviella 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 Tituacia deviella sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Gelechiidae
The closest relatives of the Tituacia deviella that you can see in Daintree National Park (family Gelechiidae, Twirler Moths) are Dichomeris ochreoviridella (about 10%), Thiotricha atractodes (about 10%) and Helcystogramma hibisci (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tituacia deviella is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (7 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.
