Leptomyrmex tibialis
In 3 days ~60% in a week ~90%
Leptomyrmex tibialis is a species of ant in the genus Leptomyrmex. First described by Carlo Emery in 1895 as Leptomyrmex nigriventris tibialis, the species is endemic to Australia, and found in both New South Wales and Queensland. The arguments for synonymy were made by Lucky and Ward, and the decision was accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Leptomyrmex tibialis sighting in Lamington National Park on a given day, based on 65 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 15th 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.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Leptomyrmex tibialis in Lamington National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July, the lowest month. That is one of Lamington National Park's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain against 40 mm in August.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leptomyrmex tibialis 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 2 parks where we can rate Leptomyrmex tibialis sightings, Lamington National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Springbrook National Park (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leptomyrmex tibialis is recorded against all the insects logged in Lamington National Park (65 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.
