Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Macadamia Cup Moth sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 914th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Macadamia Cup Moth in Brisbane on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Macadamia Cup Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Macadamia Cup Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Limacodidae
The closest relatives of the Macadamia Cup Moth that you can see in Brisbane (family Limacodidae, Slug Caterpillar Moths) are Four-Spotted Cup Moth (about 10%) and Anaxidia lozogramma (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Macadamia Cup Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (6 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.
