Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cowled Rough-Head sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 981st 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 Cowled Rough-Head in Brisbane on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cowled Rough-Head sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cowled Rough-Head sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Notodontidae
The closest relatives of the Cowled Rough-Head that you can see in Brisbane (family Notodontidae, Prominent Moths) are Bag-Shelter Moth (about 10%), Ecnomodes sagittaria (about 10%) and Golden Notodontid (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cowled Rough-Head is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (5 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.
