Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pycnocera hypoxantha sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 385th 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.
December and January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pycnocera hypoxantha in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pycnocera hypoxantha 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 Pycnocera hypoxantha sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Oecophoridae
The closest relatives of the Pycnocera hypoxantha that you can see in Brisbane (family Oecophoridae, Concealer Moths) are Eulechria marmorata (about 10%), Philobota curvilinea (about 10%) and Scatochresis innumera (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pycnocera hypoxantha is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (28 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.
