Nacoleia mesochlora is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland, the Northern Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.
The wingspan is 14–16 mm. The forewings are pale dull whitish ochreous. The first line is straight, thick and blackish, from one-third of the costa to two-fifths of the inner margin. The basal area up to this line is rather dark fuscous. The second line is thick, blackish and runs from three-fourths of the costa to beyond the middle of the inner margin. The hind-marginal area beyond this line is rather dark fuscous and there is a cloudy fuscous discal spot, as well as three small semicircular blackish-fuscous centred marks on the costa between first and second lines. The hindwings are pale ochreous yellow, with a broad rather dark fuscous hind-marginal band. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nacoleia mesochlora sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 748th most-seen of the 875 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nacoleia mesochlora in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Nacoleia mesochlora sightings, Melbourne ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Brisbane (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nacoleia mesochlora is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (6 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.
