Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Kurrajong Bag Moth sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 558th 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Kurrajong Bag Moth in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Kurrajong Bag Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Kurrajong Bag Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Kurrajong Bag Moth that you can see in Melbourne (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Scoparia exhibitalis (about 10%), Nacoleia rhoeoalis (about 10%) and Tree Lucerne Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kurrajong Bag Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (12 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.
