Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Heterorta plutonis sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 558th 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 Heterorta plutonis in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Heterorta plutonis sightings, Sydney ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Brisbane (Australia, under 5%) and Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Heterorta plutonis that you can see in Sydney (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Bogong Moth (about 20%), Lily Caterpillar Moth (about 10%) and Cruria synopla (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Heterorta plutonis is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (7 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.
