Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mimaglossa nauplialis sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 496th 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 Mimaglossa nauplialis in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mimaglossa nauplialis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 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 Mimaglossa nauplialis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pyralidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mimaglossa nauplialis is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (15 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.
