With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Patch Bark Moth sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 123 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 108th 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.
April
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a White-Patch Bark Moth in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in June to February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Patch Bark Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Melbourne, in our data
Melbourne is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-Patch Bark 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 White-Patch Bark Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (123 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.
