With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White Tangle 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.
April
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a White Tangle in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to March, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White Tangle 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 White Tangle sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White Tangle 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.
