With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bark Squeaker sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 183 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 80th most-seen of the 742 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Bark Squeaker in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in February to August, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bark Squeaker is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (183 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.
