Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tipped Archduke sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 38 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 13th 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 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tipped Archduke in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against about 10% in March, the lowest month.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Tipped Archduke sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Black-Tipped Archduke sightings, Kinabalu Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Gunung Leuser National Park (Indonesia, about 20%) and Khao Sok National Park (Thailand, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Tipped Archduke is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (38 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.
