With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudocoremia fenerata sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 291st 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.
June–July and October–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudocoremia fenerata in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in February–May and August–September, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pseudocoremia fenerata sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pseudocoremia fenerata sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Pseudocoremia
The closest relatives of the Pseudocoremia fenerata that you can see in Auckland (genus Pseudocoremia) are Common Forest Looper (about 10%), Forest Looper (about 10%) and Brown Forest Flash (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pseudocoremia fenerata is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (18 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.
