With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Hebe Looper sighting in Egmont National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 79th most-seen of the 191 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.
October and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Large Hebe Looper in Egmont National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–April, June–September and December–January, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Hebe Looper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Large Hebe Looper sightings, Egmont National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Fiordland National Park (New Zealand, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Hebe Looper is recorded against all the insects logged in Egmont National Park (9 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.
