In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Sarisophora leucoscia is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in Australia (including Queensland) and New Zealand. The wingspan is approximately 15 mm. The forewings are whitish suffused with fuscous, leaving the basal costal area, a median streak, and much of the central area is whitish. There is a broad rounded dark-fuscous dorsal patch from the base to beyond the middle area. The discal spots are dark-fuscous, the first discal at one-third, the second discal just beyond the middle and the plical included in the dorsal patch. A dark-fuscous subcostal line is found from the base to one-fourth of the wings and some dark fuscous scales are present on the postmedian veins. The hindwings are pale grey. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sarisophora leucoscia sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 144 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 38th most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Sarisophora leucoscia in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in July to September, the lowest months.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sarisophora leucoscia sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sarisophora leucoscia is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (144 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.
