In 3 days ~20% in a week ~40%
Lichenaula arisema is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria. The wingspan is 13–16 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous or white with three moderately broad nearly straight blackish-fuscous fasciae. The first are almost basal and the second are slightly curved, from the middle of the costa to beyond the middle of the inner margin, the posterior edge sometimes with a short central projection. The third is hindmarginal, extending from the apex almost to the anal angle, narrowed to a point beneath, the anterior edge sometimes angulated so as almost to touch the preceding fascia in the middle. The hindwings are dark grey. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lichenaula arisema sighting in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 181st most-seen of the 789 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lichenaula arisema in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January to September, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lichenaula arisema sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
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 Lichenaula arisema sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lichenaula arisema is recorded against all the insects logged in Blue Mountains National Park (22 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.
