Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dictyochrysa peterseni sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 52 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 243rd 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.
April and July–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dictyochrysa peterseni in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and October–March, the lowest months.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dictyochrysa peterseni sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Chrysopidae
The closest relatives of the Dictyochrysa peterseni that you can see in Melbourne (family Chrysopidae, Green Lacewings) are Mallada signatus (about 10%), Pseudomallada edwardsi (about 10%) and Italochrysa insignis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dictyochrysa peterseni 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.
