Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cyme structa sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 680th 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 Cyme structa in Brisbane on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cyme structa sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cyme structa is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (13 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.
