Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Eumelea rosalia sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 385th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and April–May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eumelea rosalia in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in March and June–December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eumelea rosalia sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eumelea rosalia sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Eumelea rosalia that you can see in Brisbane (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Apple Looper (about 10%), Comostola laesaria (about 10%) and Cleora repetita (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eumelea rosalia is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (28 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.
