About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Lichen Moth sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 72 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 140th most-seen of the 742 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spotted Lichen Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (72 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.
