Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black Jezebel sighting in Lamington National Park on a given day, based on 69 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 430 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.
February
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Black Jezebel in Lamington National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June, the lowest month. That is one of Lamington National Park's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain against 40 mm in August.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black Jezebel sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Black Jezebel sightings, Lamington National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Blue Mountains National Park (Australia, about 10%) and Booderee National Park (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Jezebel is recorded against all the insects logged in Lamington National Park (69 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.
