With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White Antennae Wasp Moth sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 98 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 104th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a White Antennae Wasp Moth in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in April–September and December–January, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White Antennae Wasp Moth 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.
Only Sydney, in our data
Sydney is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White Antennae Wasp Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White Antennae Wasp Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (98 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.
