Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Antictenia punctunculus sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 504th most-seen of the 1083 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.
December to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Antictenia punctunculus in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in March to November, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Antictenia punctunculus is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (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.
