With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Subidaria Moth sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 92 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 173rd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and September–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Subidaria Moth in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and May–August, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Subidaria Moth 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 Subidaria Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Subidaria Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (92 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.
