Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Elegant Carpet sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Elegant Carpet is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (9 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.
