With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Double White Banded Noctuid sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 120 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 117th most-seen of the 1083 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Double White Banded Noctuid in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May to July, the lowest months. That is one of Brisbane's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against 40 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Double White Banded Noctuid 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.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Double White Banded Noctuid sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Double White Banded Noctuid is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (120 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.
