Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Common Toadhopper sighting in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 38 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Common Toadhopper in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August, the lowest month.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Toadhopper sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, in our data
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Common Toadhopper sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Toadhopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (30 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.
