Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Seychelles Scale sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 621st 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 Seychelles Scale in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Seychelles Scale sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
11th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Seychelles Scale sightings, Sydney ranks 11th at under 5%. The best odds are in Valencia (Spain, about 20%), Nairobi (Kenya, about 10%) and Cape Town (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Seychelles Scale is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (6 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.
