Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dolichoderus scabridus sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 238th 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.
April and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dolichoderus scabridus in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in May–October and December–March, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dolichoderus scabridus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Dolichoderus scabridus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dolichoderus scabridus is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (37 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.
