Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Syneora hemeropa sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 558th 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 Syneora hemeropa 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 Syneora hemeropa sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Syneora hemeropa sightings, Sydney ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, about 10%).
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Syneora hemeropa 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 Syneora hemeropa is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (7 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.
