Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Wattle Gall Moth sighting in Great Otway National Park on a given day, based on 59 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 24th most-seen of the 418 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Wattle Gall Moth in Great Otway National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June and July, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Wattle Gall Moth 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 Wattle Gall Moth sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wattle Gall Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Otway National Park (59 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.
