With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Two-Spots Tiger Moth sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 145 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 100th most-seen of the 1083 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and March
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Two-Spots Tiger Moth in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May to August, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Two-Spots Tiger Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Two-Spots Tiger Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (145 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.
