Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Leptomyrmex rufithorax sighting in Noosa National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 32 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.
April, July and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Leptomyrmex rufithorax in Noosa National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, June and October, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leptomyrmex rufithorax sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Noosa National Park, in our data
Noosa National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Leptomyrmex rufithorax sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Leptomyrmex rufithorax that you can see in Noosa National Park (family Formicidae, Ants) are Daemel's Spiny Ant (about 20%) and Jumping Jack Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leptomyrmex rufithorax is recorded against all the insects logged in Noosa National Park (11 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.
