With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Caper Gull sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 333rd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–April and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Caper Gull in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May–September and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Caper Gull sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Caper Gull sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Caper Gull that you can see in Brisbane (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are Lemon Migrant (about 20%), Common Grass Yellow (about 20%) and Caper White (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Caper Gull is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (37 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.
