With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xeroderus kirbyi 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.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Xeroderus kirbyi in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–August, the lowest months. That is one of Daintree National Park's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain against 50 mm in September.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Xeroderus kirbyi sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Daintree National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xeroderus kirbyi 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.
