With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Hebe Looper sighting in Rakiura National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 103rd most-seen of the 118 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Large Hebe Looper in Rakiura National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May–September and November, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Hebe Looper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Large Hebe Looper sightings, Rakiura National Park ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Fiordland National Park (New Zealand, about 10%) and Egmont National Park (New Zealand, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Hebe Looper is recorded against all the insects logged in Rakiura National Park (6 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.
