In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Nannophlebia mudginberri is a species of dragonfly of the family Libellulidae, known as the Top End archtail. It inhabits streams of northern Australia. It is a small dragonfly with black and yellow markings and a slender body.
The genus name Nannophlebia is derived from the Greek νάννος (nannos, "dwarf") and φλέψ (phleps, "vein"). The name combines elements used in the existing genera Nannophya and Neophlebia. The species name mudginberri is named for Mudginberri Station in the Northern Territory, where the original specimens of the species were collected.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Top End Archtail sighting in Litchfield National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 29th most-seen of the 43 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and March
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Top End Archtail in Litchfield National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and October–January, the lowest months. Those are among Litchfield National Park's wettest months, with about 270 mm of rain a month against almost none in July.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Top End Archtail sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Litchfield National Park, in our data
Litchfield National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Top End Archtail sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Top End Archtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Litchfield National Park (10 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.
