Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Funnel Ant sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 335th 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 Funnel Ant in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Funnel Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Funnel Ant sightings, Sydney ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Funnel Ant that you can see in Sydney (family Formicidae, Ants) are Jumping Jack Ant (about 20%), Green-Head Ant (about 10%) and Banded Sugar Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Funnel Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (22 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.
