Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Polybothris auropicta sighting in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 52nd most-seen of the 68 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.
January and March
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Polybothris auropicta in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–August, October and December, the lowest months. Those are among Ranomafana National Park's wettest months, with about 410 mm of rain a month against 80 mm in September.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Polybothris auropicta sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Polybothris auropicta sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Polybothris auropicta is recorded against all the insects logged in Ranomafana National Park (5 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.
