With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eucalyptus Leafroller Moth sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 303rd most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–March and June–July

Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eucalyptus Leafroller Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eucalyptus Leafroller Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (19 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.
