Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Xylonichus eucalypti sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 360th 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 Xylonichus eucalypti 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.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Xylonichus eucalypti sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Sydney, in our data
Sydney is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Xylonichus eucalypti sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Xylonichus eucalypti that you can see in Sydney (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Argentinian Scarab (about 20%), Fiddler Beetle (about 10%) and Cowboy Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xylonichus eucalypti is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (16 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.
