In 3 days ~20% in a week ~50%
Ardozyga catarrhacta is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales. The wingspan is about 9 mm (0.35 in). The forewings are shining whitish-ochreous with five oblique dark fuscous marks or spots on the costa, the basal minute, the others larger posteriorly, last two confluent. There is a broad dark fuscous dorsal streak from the base to the tornus, with the extremities pointed and the upper edge projecting at one-fourth and more strongly at two-thirds. There is also a dark fuscous spot along the termen beneath the apex. The hindwings are whitish-grey. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ardozyga catarrhacta sighting in Lamington National Park on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 203rd most-seen of the 430 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.
February and March
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Ardozyga catarrhacta in Lamington National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May to January, the lowest months. Those are among Lamington National Park's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in August.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ardozyga catarrhacta sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Lamington National Park, in our data
Lamington National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ardozyga catarrhacta sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ardozyga catarrhacta is recorded against all the insects logged in Lamington National Park (13 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.
