With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Silver Princess sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 112 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 127th most-seen of the 875 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Silver Princess in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in March to October, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Silver Princess sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Silver Princess sightings, Melbourne ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Silver Princess is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (112 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.
