Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Common Archduke sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 46th most-seen of the 297 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, July and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Archduke in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Archduke sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 10
Of the 10 parks where we can rate Common Archduke sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 5th at about 20%. The best odds are in Cuc Phuong National Park (Vietnam, about 30%), Khao Luang National Park (Thailand, about 30%) and Gunung Leuser National Park (Indonesia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Archduke is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (20 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.
