With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Jezebel sighting in Springbrook National Park on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 55th most-seen of the 429 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.
July
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black Jezebel in Springbrook National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June and November, the lowest months. That is one of Springbrook National Park's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 210 mm in February.
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.
4th of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Black Jezebel sightings, Springbrook National Park ranks 4th 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%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Jezebel is recorded against all the insects logged in Springbrook National Park (32 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.
