Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Zenarge turneri sighting in Grampians National Park on a given day, based on 81 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 23rd most-seen of the 148 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August to October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Zenarge turneri in Grampians National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January to July, the lowest months.

Only Grampians National Park, in our data
Grampians National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Zenarge turneri sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Zenarge turneri is recorded against all the insects logged in Grampians National Park (81 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.
