Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Megachile chrysopyga sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 492nd 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 Megachile chrysopyga in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Megachile chrysopyga sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Megachile chrysopyga sightings, Sydney ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Perth (Australia, about 10%) and Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Megachile chrysopyga is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (9 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.
