Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Heterorta plutonis sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 396th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, September and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Heterorta plutonis in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, May–August and October–November, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Heterorta plutonis is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (29 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.
