Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Podsucking Bug sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 636th 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.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Podsucking Bug in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Podsucking Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Podsucking Bug sightings, Brisbane ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Perth (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Alydidae
The closest relatives of the Podsucking Bug that you can see in Brisbane (family Alydidae, Broad-headed Bugs) are Paddy Bug (about 10%), Brown Bean Bug (about 10%) and Noliphus erythrocephalus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Podsucking Bug 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.
