With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-Bar Moth sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 49 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 267th most-seen of the 1083 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.
December to March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-Bar Moth in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in April 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.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown-Bar Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Brown-Bar Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Brown-Bar Moth that you can see in Brisbane (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Oriental Leafworm Moth (about 10%), Yellow Tiger Moth (about 10%) and Lawn Armyworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown-Bar Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (49 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.
