In 3 days ~20% in a week ~30%
Telephlebia tryoni is a species of dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae, known as the coastal evening darner. It is a medium to large, dark chestnut brown dragonfly with dark markings on the leading edge and base of its wings.
It is endemic to eastern Australia, where it has been found along streams in rainforests and open areas, and flies at dusk. The genus name Telephlebia is derived from the Greek τῆλε (tēle, "at a distance") and φλέψ (phleps, "vein"), referring to the unusually elongated vein near the leading edge of the wing.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coastal Evening Darner is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (132 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.
