Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Rice-Leafroller sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 450th 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.
February and March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Rice-Leafroller in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in April to January, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lesser Rice-Leafroller sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
4th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Lesser Rice-Leafroller sightings, Brisbane ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kochi (India, about 10%), Chennai (India, under 5%) and Durban (South Africa, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lesser Rice-Leafroller is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (24 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.
