Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Papilio oribazus sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 15th most-seen of the 24 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.
April, October and December–January
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Papilio oribazus in Mantadia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May–September and November, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Papilio oribazus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mantadia National Park, in our data
Mantadia National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Papilio oribazus sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Papilio oribazus is recorded against all the insects logged in Mantadia National Park (10 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.
