With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Euphaea masoni sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 90th most-seen of the 153 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.
July
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Euphaea masoni in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and August–January, the lowest months. That is one of Doi Inthanon National Park's wettest months, with about 330 mm of rain against 20 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Euphaea masoni sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Euphaea masoni sightings, Doi Inthanon National Park ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Khao Sok National Park (Thailand, about 30%), Khao Yai National Park (Thailand, about 30%) and Khao Luang National Park (Thailand, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Euphaea masoni is recorded against all the insects logged in Doi Inthanon 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.
