Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Ringed Ochre sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 981st 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Ringed Ochre in Brisbane on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-Ringed Ochre sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Trapezites
The closest relatives of the Black-Ringed Ochre that you can see in Brisbane (genus Trapezites, Ochres) are Splendid Ochre (about 20%), Northern Silver Ochre (about 10%) and Eliena Skipper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Ringed Ochre is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (6 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.
