Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Araeopteron canescens sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 601st 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Araeopteron canescens in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months. That is one of Brisbane's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against 40 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Araeopteron canescens sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Araeopteron canescens sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Araeopteron canescens is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (15 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.
