Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pied Lacewing sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 21 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pied Lacewing in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pied Lacewing sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Pied Lacewing sightings, Brisbane ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
Same order: Neuroptera
The closest relatives of the Pied Lacewing that you can see in Brisbane (order Neuroptera, Antlions, Lacewings, and Allies) are Blue Eyes Lacewing (about 20%), Ditaxis biseriata (about 10%) and Italochrysa insignis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pied Lacewing is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (21 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.
