With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Ciliate-Blue sighting in Springbrook National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 358th most-seen of the 429 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, April and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Ciliate-Blue in Springbrook National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–June and August–January, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale Ciliate-Blue sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Springbrook National Park, in our data
Springbrook National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pale Ciliate-Blue sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Lycaenidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale Ciliate-Blue is recorded against all the insects logged in Springbrook National Park (8 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.
