Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Alpine Metallic Cockroach sighting in Kosciuszko National Park on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 13th most-seen of the 105 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.

Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Alpine Metallic Cockroach sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kosciuszko National Park, in our data
Kosciuszko National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Alpine Metallic Cockroach sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Alpine Metallic Cockroach is recorded against all the insects logged in Kosciuszko National Park (30 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.
