In 3 days ~60% in a week ~90%
Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae is an Australian bud-galling wasp from the family Melanosomellidae that parasitises, among others, Acacia longifolia (long-leaved wattle, or Sydney golden wattle), which has become an invasive pest in several countries. T. acaciaelongifoliae has been introduced into South Africa in 1985 and into Portugal in 2015 as a successful biological control agent of A. longifolia. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Longleaf Wattle Gall Wasp sighting in Grampians National Park on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 148 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Longleaf Wattle Gall Wasp in Grampians National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March and May, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Longleaf Wattle Gall Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Longleaf Wattle Gall Wasp sightings, Grampians National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Freycinet National Park (Australia, about 20%) and Table Mountain National Park (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Longleaf Wattle Gall Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Grampians National Park (46 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.
