With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nyctemera kinabaluensis sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 75th most-seen of the 297 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Nyctemera kinabaluensis in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March, August–September and November, the lowest months. That is one of Kinabalu Park's wettest months, with about 550 mm of rain against 180 mm in February.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nyctemera kinabaluensis sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Kinabalu Park, in our data
Kinabalu Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Nyctemera kinabaluensis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nyctemera kinabaluensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (14 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.
