Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Blistered Pyrgomorph sighting in Hattah-Kulkyne National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 25th most-seen of the 61 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.
April to June
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Blistered Pyrgomorph in Hattah-Kulkyne National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, July–October and December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Blistered Pyrgomorph sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blistered Pyrgomorph is recorded against all the insects logged in Hattah-Kulkyne National Park (7 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.
