Glyphodes negatalis, the karanj defoliator, is a moth of the family Crambidae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1859. It has a wide range in the tropics, including South Africa, The Gambia, Mali, India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Japan, and eastern Australia (including New South Wales and Queensland).
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The larvae feed on Dillenia indica, Ficus microcarpa and Ficus religiosa (Moraceae). In India, they had been found also as a main defoliator of Pongamia pinnata (karanj), and in Japan, the larvae had been found on Ficus superba var. japonica. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dysallacta negatalis sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 914th 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 Dysallacta negatalis in Brisbane on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dysallacta negatalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (6 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.
