Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a False Purple Scale sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 425th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a False Purple Scale in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate False Purple Scale sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the False Purple Scale is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (11 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.
