Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Froglet Ant sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 50 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 186th 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.
April–May and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Froglet Ant in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in June and September–March, the lowest months.
Only Sydney, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Froglet Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (50 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.
