Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Elhamma australasiae sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 207th 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Elhamma australasiae in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months. That is one of Sydney's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain against 45 mm in September.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Elhamma australasiae sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Elhamma australasiae sightings, Sydney ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Elhamma australasiae is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (43 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.
