With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Malay Punchinello sighting in Sepilok on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 68th most-seen of the 87 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Malay Punchinello in Sepilok on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and September–March, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Malay Punchinello sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Sepilok, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Malay Punchinello is recorded against all the insects logged in Sepilok (6 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.
