Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Australian Dampwood Termite sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 670th 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 Australian Dampwood Termite in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Australian Dampwood Termite sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Blattodea
The closest relatives of the Australian Dampwood Termite that you can see in Melbourne (order Blattodea, Cockroaches and Termites) are Austral Ellipsidion (about 10%), Balta bicolor (about 10%) and Bark Cockroach (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Australian Dampwood Termite is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (8 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.
