Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Amata trigonophora sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 558th most-seen of the 742 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amata trigonophora in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months. That is one of Sydney's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain against 45 mm in September.
Only Sydney, in our data
Sydney is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Amata trigonophora sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Amata
The closest relatives of the Amata trigonophora that you can see in Sydney (genus Amata, Handmaidens) are White Antennae Wasp Moth (about 10%) and Amata aperta (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amata trigonophora is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (7 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.
