Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dark-Barred Wainscot sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 575th 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.
August and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dark-Barred Wainscot in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 160 mm in February.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dark-Barred Wainscot 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.
