With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Magpie Moth sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 143rd most-seen of the 297 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and September–October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Magpie Moth in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and November–January, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Magpie Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Magpie Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (8 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.
