Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Camponotus elegans sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 636th 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 Camponotus elegans 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 Camponotus elegans sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Camponotus
The closest relatives of the Camponotus elegans that you can see in Brisbane (genus Camponotus, Carpenter Ants, Typical Sugar Ants and Allies) are Golden-Tailed Sugar Ant (about 20%), Banded Sugar Ant (about 10%) and Black-Headed Sugar Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Camponotus elegans is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (12 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.
