Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cosmosoma gemmata sighting in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 124th most-seen of the 346 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.
March and April
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Cosmosoma gemmata in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in August to December, the lowest months. Those are among Main Ridge Forest Reserve's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain a month against 230 mm in October.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cosmosoma gemmata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Main Ridge Forest Reserve, in our data
Main Ridge Forest Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cosmosoma gemmata sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Cosmosoma gemmata that you can see in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Virbia medarda (about 40%), Eulepidotis viridissima (about 40%) and Walker's Moth (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cosmosoma gemmata is recorded against all the insects logged in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (11 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.
