With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Jezebel sighting in Royal National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 50th most-seen of the 175 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black Jezebel in Royal National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, July–August and October–November, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black Jezebel sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Black Jezebel sightings, Royal National Park ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Lamington National Park (Australia, about 30%), Blue Mountains National Park (Australia, about 10%) and Booderee National Park (Australia, about 10%).
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Black Jezebel that you can see in Royal National Park (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are Small White (about 10%) and Caper White (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Jezebel is recorded against all the insects logged in Royal National Park (19 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.
