Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eressa geographica sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 538th 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eressa geographica in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eressa geographica sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eressa geographica is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (16 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.
