With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Notodontid sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 279th most-seen of the 1083 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December to April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Notodontid in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May to November, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden Notodontid sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 2 cities where we can rate Golden Notodontid sightings, Brisbane has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Notodontidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden Notodontid is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (46 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.
