Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Scolia verticalis sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 575th 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scolia verticalis in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Scolia verticalis sightings, Brisbane ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Scolia verticalis that you can see in Brisbane (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Black-Headed Strobe Ant (about 20%), Polyrhachis rufifemur (about 20%) and Green-Head Ant (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scolia verticalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (14 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.
