With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Myrmecia vindex sighting in Perth on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 92nd 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.
February–May, July and September–October

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Myrmecia vindex is recorded against all the insects logged in Perth (26 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.
