Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ageletha hemiteles sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 558th most-seen of the 875 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 an Ageletha hemiteles in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ageletha hemiteles sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ageletha hemiteles sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Oecophoridae
The closest relatives of the Ageletha hemiteles that you can see in Melbourne (family Oecophoridae, Concealer Moths) are Tachystola hemisema (about 10%), Philobota protecta (about 10%) and Olbonoma triptycha (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ageletha hemiteles is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (12 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.
