Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tortricopsis pyroptis sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 760th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tortricopsis pyroptis in Brisbane on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tortricopsis pyroptis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tortricopsis pyroptis is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (9 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.
