Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Holocola thalassinana sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 406th 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.
August to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Holocola thalassinana in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in November to July, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain a month against 160 mm in February.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Holocola thalassinana sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Holocola thalassinana is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (30 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.
