With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ambulyx ochracea sighting in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 104th most-seen of the 221 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.
July
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Ambulyx ochracea in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October to April, the lowest months. That is one of Khao Yai National Park's wettest months, with about 270 mm of rain against 15 mm in December.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ambulyx ochracea sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Khao Yai National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ambulyx ochracea is recorded against all the insects logged in Khao Yai National Park (10 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.
