Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Piloprepes anassa sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 808th 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 Piloprepes anassa in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Piloprepes anassa sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Piloprepes anassa sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Oecophoridae
The closest relatives of the Piloprepes anassa that you can see in Melbourne (family Oecophoridae, Concealer Moths) are Tachystola hemisema (about 10%), Philobota protecta (about 10%) and Olbonoma triptycha (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Piloprepes anassa is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (5 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.
