With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Capua semiferana sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 48 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 147th most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Capua semiferana in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in June, the lowest month.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Capua semiferana sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Capua semiferana sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Capua semiferana is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (48 verified sightings), 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.
