In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Nacoleia mesochlora is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland, the Northern Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.
The wingspan is 14–16 mm. The forewings are pale dull whitish ochreous. The first line is straight, thick and blackish, from one-third of the costa to two-fifths of the inner margin. The basal area up to this line is rather dark fuscous. The second line is thick, blackish and runs from three-fourths of the costa to beyond the middle of the inner margin. The hind-marginal area beyond this line is rather dark fuscous and there is a cloudy fuscous discal spot, as well as three small semicircular blackish-fuscous centred marks on the costa between first and second lines. The hindwings are pale ochreous yellow, with a broad rather dark fuscous hind-marginal band. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nacoleia mesochlora sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 601st 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.
October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nacoleia mesochlora in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in January–September and November, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Nacoleia mesochlora sightings, Brisbane has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
Same genus: Nacoleia
The closest relatives of the Nacoleia mesochlora that you can see in Brisbane (genus Nacoleia) are Nacoleia amphicedalis (about 10%) and Nacoleia rhoeoalis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nacoleia mesochlora is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (13 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.
