Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Xystrocera virescens 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xystrocera virescens in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months. That is one of Brisbane's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 160 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Xystrocera virescens sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Xystrocera virescens sightings, Brisbane ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Xystrocera virescens that you can see in Brisbane (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Tiger Longhorn (about 10%) and Poinciana Longicorn (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xystrocera virescens 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.
