About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Macrones besti sighting in Kosciuszko National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 85th most-seen of the 105 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Only Kosciuszko National Park, in our data
Kosciuszko National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Macrones besti sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Macrones besti is recorded against all the insects logged in Kosciuszko National Park (5 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.
