Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spectrotrota fimbrialis 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 Spectrotrota fimbrialis in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spectrotrota fimbrialis sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Spectrotrota fimbrialis sightings, Sydney ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, about 10%), Brisbane (Australia, under 5%) and Perth (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spectrotrota fimbrialis 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.
