With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Subalpine Firetail sighting in Kosciuszko National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 46th most-seen of the 105 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Subalpine Firetail in Kosciuszko National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Subalpine Firetail 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 Subalpine Firetail sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Subalpine Firetail is recorded against all the insects logged in Kosciuszko National Park (12 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.
