Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ice Plant Scale sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 618th 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ice Plant Scale in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Ice Plant Scale sightings, Auckland ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Coccidae
The closest relatives of the Ice Plant Scale that you can see in Auckland (family Coccidae, Soft scales) are Soft Wax Scale (about 10%), Gahnia Glassy Scale (about 10%) and Chinese Wax Scale (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ice Plant Scale is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (5 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.
