Only Egmont National Park, in our data
Egmont National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Auckland Cave Wētā sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Auckland Cave Wētā is recorded against all the insects logged in Egmont National Park (8 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.
