With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Winged Lycid sighting in Great Otway National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 331st most-seen of the 418 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November to January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Winged Lycid in Great Otway National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to October, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Winged Lycid sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Red-Winged Lycid sightings, Great Otway National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Abel Tasman National Park (New Zealand, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Winged Lycid is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Otway National Park (6 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.
