Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Euphaea masoni sighting in Kaeng Krachan National Park on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 39th most-seen of the 296 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.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Euphaea masoni sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Euphaea masoni is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaeng Krachan National Park (37 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.
