Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Epicoma contristis sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 521st 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.
February and March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Epicoma contristis in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in April to January, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Epicoma contristis sightings, Brisbane has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Melbourne (Australia, under 5%) and Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Epicoma contristis is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (18 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.
