Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Magpie Moth 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Magpie Moth in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Magpie Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
5th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Asian Magpie Moth sightings, Sydney ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Brisbane (Australia, about 20%), Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 10%) and Bandung (Indonesia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Magpie Moth 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.
