Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Meganola major sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 981st 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 Meganola major in Brisbane on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Meganola major sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nolidae
The closest relatives of the Meganola major that you can see in Brisbane (family Nolidae, Tufted Moths) are Nola elaphropasta (about 10%) and Nola squalida (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Meganola major 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.
