Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Clicking Ambertail sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 323rd 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.
December
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clicking Ambertail in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in January to November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Clicking Ambertail sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Clicking Ambertail sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Clicking Ambertail is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (30 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.
