Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Hierodula werneri sighting in Kakadu National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 76 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–May, July, September and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Hierodula werneri in Kakadu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–March, the lowest months. Those are among Kakadu National Park's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 350 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hierodula werneri sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kakadu National Park, in our data
Kakadu National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hierodula werneri sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hierodula werneri is recorded against all the insects logged in Kakadu National Park (11 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.
