Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Arthroschista hilaralis sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 22nd most-seen of the 297 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and October
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Arthroschista hilaralis in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in June and December–March, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Arthroschista hilaralis sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Arthroschista hilaralis sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Danum Valley Conservation Area (Malaysia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Arthroschista hilaralis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (40 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.
