With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a She-Oak Moth sighting in Springbrook National Park on a given day, based on 5 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.
January, June–July and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a She-Oak Moth in Springbrook National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–May, August–October and December, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most She-Oak Moth 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 Springbrook National Park, in our data
Springbrook National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate She-Oak Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the She-Oak Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Springbrook National Park (5 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.
