Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cizara ardeniae 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 a Cizara ardeniae in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cizara ardeniae sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 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 Cizara ardeniae sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Sphingidae
The closest relatives of the Cizara ardeniae that you can see in Sydney (family Sphingidae, Sphinx Moths) are Australasian Privet Hawkmoth (about 10%), Pale Brown Hawkmoth (about 10%) and Coprosma Hawk Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cizara ardeniae 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.
