Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Cream-Lined Swallowtail sighting in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 19th most-seen of the 68 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cream-Lined Swallowtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Ranomafana 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.
