Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Omorgus rotundulus sighting in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 19th most-seen of the 38 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Omorgus rotundulus in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, May and July–August, the lowest months.

Between 5 and 8 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Omorgus rotundulus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Omorgus rotundulus is recorded against all the insects logged in Uluru-Kata Tjuta 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.
