Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Microlamia pygmaea sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 527th 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.
January and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Microlamia pygmaea in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in February–May and July–December, the lowest months.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Microlamia pygmaea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Microlamia pygmaea that you can see in Auckland (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Lemon Tree Borer (about 10%), Stenopotes pallidus (about 10%) and Huhu (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Microlamia pygmaea is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (7 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.
