Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Green Slantface sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 474th 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.
January and February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Green Slantface in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's wettest months, with about 150 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 Giant Green Slantface sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Giant Green Slantface sightings, Brisbane ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Perth (Australia, about 10%), Melbourne (Australia, about 10%) and Sydney (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Giant Green Slantface is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (20 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.
