Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nausinoe perspectata sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 317th 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nausinoe perspectata in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
6th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Nausinoe perspectata sightings, Sydney ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, under 5%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Nausinoe perspectata that you can see in Sydney (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Grass Webworm Moth (about 10%) and Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nausinoe perspectata is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (20 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.
