In 3 days ~20% in a week ~30%
Enchocrates glaucopis is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1883. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from the south-east of the country. The wingspan is 15–22 mm. The forewings are fuscous grey, the margins narrowly dark fuscous and with the costal edge, hindmarginal edge, and all veins marked by bright carmine lines. There is a very ill-defined straight oblique cloudy dark grey transverse line from the middle of the costa to the inner margin at two-thirds. There is also a very ill-defined roundish pale yellow spot on middle of the inner margin, anteriorly or wholly carmine tinged, margined anteriorly by the transverse dark grey line. There is a round suffused blackish-grey spot on the inner margin at four-fifths, in some specimens very conspicuous, in others absent. There is also an indistinct dark fuscous dot in the disc at two-thirds. The hindwings are grey whitish in males and grey, but paler towards the base in females. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Enchocrates glaucopis sighting in Great Otway National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 253rd most-seen of the 418 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Enchocrates glaucopis in Great Otway National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Enchocrates glaucopis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Great Otway National Park, in our data
Great Otway National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Enchocrates glaucopis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Enchocrates glaucopis is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Otway 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.
