Crocanthes micradelpha is a species of moth of the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in the northern parts of Queensland in Australia. The wingspan is about 10 mm (0.39 in). The forewings are orange-yellow with a small blackish spot on the costa at one-third from the base and a broad, purplish-fuscous, hindmarginal band, occupying one-third of the wing, the anterior edge darker, and slightly curved outwards. There is a yellowish, elongate spot on the costal portion of the band. The hindwings are dark-fuscous.
C. micradelpha lays flat eggs. The larvae that hatch from them are white, and hairy, feeding on eucalypt leaf litter. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Crocanthes micradelpha sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 554th 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.
April and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Crocanthes micradelpha in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and October–March, the lowest months.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Crocanthes micradelpha sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crocanthes micradelpha is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (15 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.
