Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Laspeyria concavata sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 420th 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 and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Laspeyria concavata in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in February–July and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Laspeyria concavata 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 Laspeyria concavata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Laspeyria concavata that you can see in Brisbane (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asian Magpie Moth (about 20%), Castor Semi-Looper (about 10%) and Yellow Tussock (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Laspeyria concavata is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (26 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.
