Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Banded Dart sighting in Lamington National Park on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 47th most-seen of the 430 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-Banded Dart sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Banded Dart is recorded against all the insects logged in Lamington National Park (46 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.
