Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nippoptilia cinctipedalis sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 5 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 Nippoptilia cinctipedalis 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 Nippoptilia cinctipedalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Nippoptilia cinctipedalis sightings, Brisbane ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Shanghai (China, under 5%) and Tokyo (Japan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nippoptilia cinctipedalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (5 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.
