Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sylvicola dubius 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.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sylvicola dubius in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 160 mm in February.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Sylvicola dubius sightings, Brisbane ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, about 10%) and Auckland (New Zealand, about 10%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Sylvicola dubius that you can see in Brisbane (order Diptera, Flies) are Australian Tiger Crane Fly (about 20%), Black Soldier Fly (about 10%) and Toxorhynchites speciosus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sylvicola dubius 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.
