Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pink Arhodia 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 Pink Arhodia in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pink Arhodia sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Pink Arhodia 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: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Pink Arhodia that you can see in Sydney (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Red-Lined Looper (about 10%), Apple Looper (about 10%) and Sinister Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pink Arhodia 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.
