With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Mosquito sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 84 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 121st 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.
January, March–April and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Mosquito in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–September and December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Striped Mosquito sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Striped Mosquito sightings, Sydney ranks 5th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Auckland (New Zealand, about 10%), Perth (Australia, about 10%) and Melbourne (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Striped Mosquito is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (84 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.
