With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oleria estella sighting in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 48th most-seen of the 61 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Oleria estella in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–July and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Oleria estella sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Podocarpus National Park, in our data
Podocarpus National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Oleria estella sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oleria estella is recorded against all the insects logged in Podocarpus National Park (5 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.
