With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Wattle Miner sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 275th most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–September and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Wattle Miner in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and October, the lowest months.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Wattle Miner sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Gracillariidae
The closest relatives of the Wattle Miner that you can see in Auckland (family Gracillariidae, Leaf Blotch Miner Moths) are Echium Leaf Miner (about 10%), European Oak Leafminer (about 10%) and Acrocercops leucotoma (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wattle Miner is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (19 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.
