Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Trichocolletes orientalis sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 8 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Trichocolletes orientalis in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months. That is one of Sydney's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 130 mm in February.
Only Sydney, in our data
Sydney is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Trichocolletes orientalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Trichocolletes orientalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (8 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.
