Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fruit Spotting Bug sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 406th 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 and March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fruit Spotting Bug in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–December, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fruit Spotting Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Fruit Spotting Bug sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Coreidae
The closest relatives of the Fruit Spotting Bug that you can see in Brisbane (family Coreidae, Leaf-footed Bugs) are Common Gum-Tree Bug (about 10%), Clown Bug (about 10%) and Pternistria bispina (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fruit Spotting Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (26 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.
