With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Oxycanus sighting in Great Otway National Park on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 77th most-seen of the 418 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.

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 Southern Oxycanus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Oxycanus is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Otway National Park (30 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.
