Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Brancsikia aeroplana sighting in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 44th most-seen of the 68 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.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Brancsikia aeroplana in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–July and September, the lowest months. That is one of Ranomafana National Park's driest months, with about 95 mm of rain against 450 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brancsikia aeroplana sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Ranomafana National Park, in our data
Ranomafana National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Brancsikia aeroplana sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brancsikia aeroplana is recorded against all the insects logged in Ranomafana National Park (7 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.
