Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Macrodes cynara sighting in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 195th most-seen of the 346 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.
August and September
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Macrodes cynara in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–May and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Macrodes cynara 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 Macrodes cynara sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Macrodes cynara is recorded against all the insects logged in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (8 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.
