Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Meranoplus minor sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 233rd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Meranoplus minor in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and September–March, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Meranoplus minor sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Sydney, in our data
Sydney is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Meranoplus minor sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Meranoplus minor 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 Meranoplus minor is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (36 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.
