Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Cream-Lined Swallowtail sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 24 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and October
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Cream-Lined Swallowtail in Mantadia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and May–August, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cream-Lined Swallowtail sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Cream-Lined Swallowtail sightings, Mantadia National Park has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Ranomafana National Park (Madagascar, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cream-Lined Swallowtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Mantadia National Park (22 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.
