Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Clavipalpula aurariae sighting in Nikko National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 16th most-seen of the 86 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Clavipalpula aurariae in Nikko National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March and August–November, the lowest months.
Between 4 and 7 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Clavipalpula aurariae sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Nikko National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Clavipalpula aurariae is recorded against all the insects logged in Nikko National Park (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.
