Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pyrops cultellata sighting in Sepilok on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 13th most-seen of the 87 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Pyrops cultellata in Sepilok on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of Sepilok's driest months, with about 170 mm of rain against 400 mm in November.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pyrops cultellata sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Sepilok, in our data
Sepilok is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pyrops cultellata sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Pyrops
The closest relatives of the Pyrops cultellata that you can see in Sepilok (genus Pyrops, Pyrops Lanternflies) are Pyrops whiteheadi (about 60%) and Pyrops sidereus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pyrops cultellata is recorded against all the insects logged in Sepilok (24 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.
