With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tessellated Scale sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 303rd 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.
April, June and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tessellated Scale in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in May, July and October–March, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Tessellated Scale sightings, Auckland has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Sydney (Australia, under 5%) and Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Coccidae
The closest relatives of the Tessellated 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 Tessellated Scale is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (21 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.
