Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Idaea rufarenaria sighting in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 40th most-seen of the 346 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 60% of wildlife watchers report an Idaea rufarenaria in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in May and August–November, the lowest months. That is one of Main Ridge Forest Reserve's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain against 230 mm in October.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Idaea rufarenaria 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 Idaea rufarenaria sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Idaea
The closest relatives of the Idaea rufarenaria that you can see in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (genus Idaea) are Idaea cellifimbria (about 40%), Idaea incanata (about 20%) and Idaea triangularia (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Idaea rufarenaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (25 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.
