Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lepidoscia characota sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 431st 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 and April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lepidoscia characota 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 Lepidoscia characota sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Lepidoscia characota sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lepidoscia characota is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (21 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.
