Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Three-Lined Snout sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 601st 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.
March and April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Three-Lined Snout in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May to February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Three-Lined Snout sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 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 Three-Lined Snout sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Three-Lined Snout 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 Three-Lined Snout 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.
