Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cloudy Masked Bee sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 538th 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cloudy Masked Bee in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cloudy Masked Bee sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Cloudy Masked Bee sightings, Brisbane ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cloudy Masked Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (16 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.
