Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black Slug Cup Moth sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 52 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 179th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Slug Cup Moth in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in May to January, the lowest months. Those are among Sydney's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in September.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Slug Cup Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (52 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.
