Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mimegralla australica sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 463rd 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mimegralla australica in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mimegralla australica is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (22 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.
