Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Eilema kingdoni sighting in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, based on 13 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.
July and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Eilema kingdoni in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September and December–June, the lowest months. Those are among Ranomafana National Park's driest months, with about 120 mm of rain a month against 450 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eilema kingdoni sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Ranomafana National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eilema kingdoni is recorded against all the insects logged in Ranomafana National Park (13 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.
