Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Amegilla asserta sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 289th 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.
January and February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amegilla asserta in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months. Those are among Sydney's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in September.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amegilla asserta sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Amegilla asserta sightings, Sydney ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amegilla asserta is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (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.
