Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Splendid Ochre sighting in Lamington National Park on a given day, based on 51 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 26th 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 Splendid Ochre in Lamington National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to September, the lowest months. That is one of Lamington National Park's wettest months, with about 150 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 Splendid Ochre sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Splendid Ochre sightings, Lamington National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Booderee National Park (Australia, about 20%) and Royal National Park (Australia, about 10%).
Same genus: Trapezites

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Splendid Ochre is recorded against all the insects logged in Lamington National Park (51 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.
