Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Trichophthalma rosea 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.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Trichophthalma rosea in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–July, the lowest months. That is one of Blue Mountains National Park's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 150 mm in March.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Trichophthalma rosea sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Trichophthalma rosea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Diptera

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Trichophthalma rosea 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.
