Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Dusky Diadem sighting in Namdapha National Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 27th most-seen of the 71 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.
October
In that month about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Dusky Diadem in Namdapha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month. June to August have too few records to rate.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dusky Diadem sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Namdapha National Park, in our data
Namdapha National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dusky Diadem sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dusky Diadem is recorded against all the insects logged in Namdapha National Park (25 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.
