Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Amata thoracica sighting in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 27th most-seen of the 117 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.
November
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Amata thoracica in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–June and October, the lowest months. That is one of Sinharaja Forest Reserve's wettest months, with about 490 mm of rain against 150 mm in March.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amata thoracica sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Sinharaja Forest Reserve, in our data
Sinharaja Forest Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Amata thoracica sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amata thoracica is recorded against all the insects logged in Sinharaja Forest Reserve (16 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.
