With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Heterallactis euchrysa sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 88 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 161st 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and June–February

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Heterallactis euchrysa is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (88 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.
