With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a West Coast Laterite Ctenotus sighting in Perth on a given day, based on 41 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 12th most-seen of the 23 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a West Coast Laterite Ctenotus in Perth on a given day, against under 5% in May and October, the lowest months. Those are among Perth's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 130 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most West Coast Laterite Ctenotus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Perth, in our data
Perth is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate West Coast Laterite Ctenotus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the West Coast Laterite Ctenotus is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Perth (41 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.
