Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Phacodes personatus sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 63 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 229th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January to March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phacodes personatus in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in April to December, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phacodes personatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Phacodes personatus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phacodes personatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (63 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.
