Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Broken-Backed Bug sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 281st 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.

In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Broken-Backed Bug in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in January to November, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Broken-Backed Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 26
Of the 26 cities where we can rate Broken-Backed Bug sightings, Melbourne ranks 10th at under 5%. The best odds are in Algiers (Algeria, about 10%), Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%) and Puebla (México, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Broken-Backed Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (42 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.
