Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Wide-Winged Plume Moth sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 808th most-seen of the 875 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Wide-Winged Plume Moth in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spotted Wide-Winged Plume Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (5 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.
