With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Campfire Beetle sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 64 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 148th 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.
October to December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Campfire Beetle in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in January to September, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Campfire Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Sydney, in our data
Sydney is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Campfire Beetle sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Anoplognathus
The closest relatives of the Campfire Beetle that you can see in Sydney (genus Anoplognathus, Christmas Beetles) are Anoplognathus olivieri (about 10%) and Washerwoman (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Campfire Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (64 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.
