Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Scoparia spelaea sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 389th 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.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scoparia spelaea in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scoparia spelaea sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Scoparia spelaea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scoparia spelaea 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.
