Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cephalodesmius armiger sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 335th 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 a Cephalodesmius armiger in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cephalodesmius armiger sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Sydney, in our data
Sydney is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cephalodesmius armiger sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Cephalodesmius armiger that you can see in Sydney (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Argentinian Scarab (about 20%), Fiddler Beetle (about 10%) and Cowboy Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cephalodesmius armiger is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (19 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.
