Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Anthelid Moth sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 377th 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 a Common Anthelid Moth in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Anthelid Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Common Anthelid Moth sightings, Melbourne ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, under 5%) and Brisbane (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Anthelid Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (26 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.
