Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Microzancla ignitalis 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.
March
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Microzancla ignitalis in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in April, June–July and September–January, 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 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Microzancla ignitalis 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 Microzancla ignitalis sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pyralidae
The closest relatives of the Microzancla ignitalis that you can see in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (family Pyralidae, Pyralid Snout Moths) are Nachaba diplagialis (about 30%), Salobrena vacuana (about 30%) and Phidotricha erigens (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Microzancla ignitalis 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.
