Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Epithymema incomposita sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 74 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 186th 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.
March and April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Epithymema incomposita in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in May to February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Epithymema incomposita sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Epithymema incomposita sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Oecophoridae
The closest relatives of the Epithymema incomposita 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 Epithymema incomposita is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (74 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.
