With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mocis trifasciata sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 147 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 103rd most-seen of the 1083 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February to April
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mocis trifasciata in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in June–August and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mocis trifasciata sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mocis trifasciata sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mocis trifasciata is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (147 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.
