Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Notodontid sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 377th 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.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Notodontid in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden Notodontid sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Golden Notodontid sightings, Sydney ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Brisbane (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden Notodontid is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (15 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.
