Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Diphucrania viridipurpurea sighting in Perth on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 175th most-seen of the 275 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.
January–February and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Diphucrania viridipurpurea in Perth on a given day, against under 5% in March–September and December, the lowest months. Those are among Perth's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 130 mm in July.
Only Perth, in our data

Same family: Buprestidae
The closest relatives of the Diphucrania viridipurpurea that you can see in Perth (family Buprestidae, Jewel Beetles) are Temognatha conspicillata (about 10%) and Castiarina simulata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Diphucrania viridipurpurea is recorded against all the insects logged in Perth (9 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.
