With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Mosquito sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 112 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 119th 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.
October to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Mosquito in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in July to September, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Striped Mosquito 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.
