Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Iridopteryx iridipennis sighting in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 47th most-seen of the 117 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.
June
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Iridopteryx iridipennis in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January, March, May and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Iridopteryx iridipennis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 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 Iridopteryx iridipennis sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Iridopteryx iridipennis is recorded against all the insects logged in Sinharaja Forest Reserve (11 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.
