With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Megachile chrysopyga sighting in Perth on a given day, based on 38 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 71st most-seen of the 275 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.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Megachile chrysopyga in Perth on a given day, against under 5% in May to September, the lowest months. That is one of Perth's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 130 mm in July.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Megachile chrysopyga sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Megachile chrysopyga sightings, Perth has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Melbourne (Australia, under 5%) and Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Megachile chrysopyga is recorded against all the insects logged in Perth (38 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.
