Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Smyriodes trigramma sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 398th 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Smyriodes trigramma in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Smyriodes trigramma sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Smyriodes trigramma sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Smyriodes trigramma that you can see in Melbourne (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Apple Looper (about 20%), Plantain Moth (about 20%) and Red-Lined Looper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Smyriodes trigramma is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (29 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.
