Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Scoliacma nana sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 680th 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 Scoliacma nana in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scoliacma nana 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 Scoliacma nana sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Scoliacma nana that you can see in Brisbane (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asian Magpie Moth (about 20%), Castor Semi-Looper (about 10%) and Yellow Tussock (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scoliacma nana is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (11 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.
