Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Scopula apparitaria sighting in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 163rd 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 and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Scopula apparitaria in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April–June and November, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scopula apparitaria sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 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 Scopula apparitaria sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scopula apparitaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (9 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.
