Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sinpunctiptilia emissalis sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 302nd 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.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sinpunctiptilia emissalis in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sinpunctiptilia emissalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sinpunctiptilia emissalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sinpunctiptilia emissalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (35 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.
