With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eucalyptus Variegated Beetle sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 188 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 89th most-seen of the 875 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September to March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eucalyptus Variegated Beetle in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in April to August, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eucalyptus Variegated Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Eucalyptus Variegated Beetle sightings, Melbourne ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Brisbane (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eucalyptus Variegated Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (188 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.
