With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lantana Hispid sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 50 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 290th 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.
February–April and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lantana Hispid in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and September–January, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lantana Hispid sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lantana Hispid sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Lantana Hispid that you can see in Brisbane (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Eucalyptus Variegated Beetle (about 10%), Eucalypt Leaf Beetle (about 10%) and Iridescent Leaf Cylinder Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lantana Hispid is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (50 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.
