With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phobaeticus foliatus 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 168th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Phobaeticus foliatus in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in September to March, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phobaeticus foliatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Kinabalu Park, in our data
Kinabalu Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Phobaeticus foliatus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phobaeticus foliatus 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.
