Chrysolarentia subrectaria is a species of moth of the family Geometridae. It was first described by Achille Guenée in 1858. It is found in New Zealand and Australia, including Tasmania. The holotype specimen, collected in Tasmania, is held at the National Museum of Natural History, France. There has been some confusion over the date of publication of the original description of this species. Research published in 2024 indicates that the appropriate publication date for this species should be 1858. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Straight-Lined Carpet sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 703rd 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Straight-Lined Carpet in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Straight-Lined Carpet sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Straight-Lined Carpet is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (8 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.
