Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pied Lacewing sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 367th 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 Pied Lacewing in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in May to February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pied Lacewing sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Pied Lacewing sightings, Melbourne ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, under 5%) and Brisbane (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pied Lacewing is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (27 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.
