Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Podsucking Bug sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 417th 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Podsucking Bug in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Podsucking Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Podsucking Bug sightings, Melbourne ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Perth (Australia, under 5%) and Brisbane (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Podsucking Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (21 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.
