Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Udea notata sighting in Rakiura National Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 30th most-seen of the 118 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–May and October–January
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Udea notata in Rakiura National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and June–September, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Udea notata sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Rakiura National Park, in our data
Rakiura National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Udea notata sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Udea notata that you can see in Rakiura National Park (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Scoparia halopis (about 20%), Eudonia philerga (about 20%) and Eudonia octophora (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Udea notata is recorded against all the insects logged in Rakiura National Park (15 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.
