With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nola squalida sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 317th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nola squalida in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in February–April and June–November, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nola squalida sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Nola squalida sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nola squalida is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (42 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.
