Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Boxer Bark Mantis sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 554th 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.
February and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Boxer Bark Mantis in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–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 noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Boxer Bark Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Southern Boxer Bark Mantis sightings, Brisbane ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Perth (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Boxer Bark Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (18 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.
