Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Eudonia aphrodes sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 621st 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 Eudonia aphrodes 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 Eudonia aphrodes 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 Eudonia aphrodes sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Eudonia aphrodes that you can see in Sydney (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Grass Webworm Moth (about 10%) and Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eudonia aphrodes is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (6 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.
