Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Delexocha ochrocausta sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 52 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 261st 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Delexocha ochrocausta in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in December to September, the lowest months.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Delexocha ochrocausta sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Oecophoridae
The closest relatives of the Delexocha ochrocausta that you can see in Melbourne (family Oecophoridae, Concealer Moths) are Tachystola hemisema (about 10%), Philobota protecta (about 10%) and Olbonoma triptycha (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Delexocha ochrocausta is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (52 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.
