With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Glasswing sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 199 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 74th most-seen of the 1083 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and April
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Glasswing in Brisbane on a given day, against about 10% in March and May–January, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Glasswing sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Glasswing sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Glasswing is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (199 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.
