Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Turner's Beautiful-Masked Bee sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 489th 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.
August and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Turner's Beautiful-Masked Bee in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 160 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Turner's Beautiful-Masked Bee sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Turner's Beautiful-Masked Bee sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Turner's Beautiful-Masked Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (21 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.
