Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pylartes subcostalis sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 56th 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.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Pylartes subcostalis in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in June, September–October and December–February, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pylartes subcostalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Kinabalu Park, in our data
Kinabalu Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pylartes subcostalis sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pylartes subcostalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (19 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.
