With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scarlet Jezebel sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 68 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 209th most-seen of the 1083 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–June, October and December–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scarlet Jezebel in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in March, July–September and November, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scarlet Jezebel sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Scarlet Jezebel sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scarlet Jezebel is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (68 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.
