Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dysgonia constricta sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 721st 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.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dysgonia constricta in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dysgonia constricta sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dysgonia constricta sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dysgonia constricta is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (10 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.
