In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Aedes alboannulatus is a mosquito species of the genus Aedes that is native to Australia. This species breeds in rain filled pools, in open, sunlit, or forest areas. The eggs are resistant to drying out, often laid on the soil substrate of drying pools.
Adults bite humans readily, usually at dusk or shaded areas during the day. Birds are also bitten by A. alboannulatus. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-Kneed Mosquito 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.
April and June–July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Kneed Mosquito in Perth on a given day, against under 5% in May and August–March, the lowest months. Those are among Perth's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in December.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Kneed Mosquito sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate White-Kneed Mosquito sightings, Perth ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Kneed Mosquito 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.
