With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Lichen Tuft Moth sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 81 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 93rd most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Green Lichen Tuft Moth in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in April to September, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Lichen Tuft Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Green Lichen Tuft 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 Green Lichen Tuft Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (81 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.
