Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Figleaf Beetle sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 504th 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Figleaf Beetle in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Figleaf Beetle sightings, Brisbane ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Figleaf Beetle that you can see in Brisbane (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Eucalyptus Variegated Beetle (about 10%), Eucalypt Leaf Beetle (about 10%) and Iridescent Leaf Cylinder Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Figleaf Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (19 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.
