Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lydia Lichen Moth sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 258th 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.
March and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lydia Lichen Moth in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in April–August and October–February, the lowest months.

Of the 3 cities where we can rate Lydia Lichen Moth sightings, Sydney ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Brisbane (Australia, about 10%) and Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lydia Lichen Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (32 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.
