Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fig Psyllid sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 33 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 353rd 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fig Psyllid in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Fig Psyllid sightings, Melbourne ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Auckland (New Zealand, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Fig Psyllid that you can see in Melbourne (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Passionvine Hopper (about 20%), European Firebug (about 10%) and Grey Planthopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fig Psyllid is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (33 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.
