Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-Winged Epidesmia sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 554th 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-Winged Epidesmia in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Brisbane's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 160 mm in February.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-Winged Epidesmia sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Golden-Winged Epidesmia sightings, Brisbane ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-Winged Epidesmia is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (17 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.
