Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Culama suffusca sighting in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 681st most-seen of the 789 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, March and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Culama suffusca in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–September and November–December, the lowest months. Those are among Blue Mountains National Park's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in May.
Only Blue Mountains National Park, in our data
Blue Mountains National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Culama suffusca sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Culama suffusca is recorded against all the insects logged in Blue Mountains 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.
