Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Coniopteryx maculithorax sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 431st 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 Coniopteryx maculithorax 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 Coniopteryx maculithorax sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Neuroptera
The closest relatives of the Coniopteryx maculithorax that you can see in Melbourne (order Neuroptera, Antlions, Lacewings, and Allies) are Tasmanian Brown Lacewing (about 10%), Mallada signatus (about 10%) and Pseudomallada edwardsi (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coniopteryx maculithorax is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (24 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.
