With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stathmopoda auriferella sighting in Perth on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 99th 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.
September to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stathmopoda auriferella in Perth on a given day, against under 5% in March to August, the lowest months. Those are among Perth's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 130 mm in July.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stathmopoda auriferella is recorded against all the insects logged in Perth (25 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.
