Crocanthes glycina is a species of moth of the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania. The wingspan is 15–17 mm (0.59–0.67 in). The forewings are pale clear yellow with bronzy-fuscous markings, with purplish reflections. There is a costal streak from the base to the middle, attenuated posteriorly and a moderate postmedian fascia parallel to the termen, the anterior edge irregular and finely blackish-margined, strongly or only suffusedly connected on the costa with a moderate terminal fascia, sometimes almost connected on the tornus also. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly and with a darker transverse discal mark. Wikipedia →

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Crocanthes glycina sighting in Great Otway National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 369th most-seen of the 418 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crocanthes glycina is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Otway National Park (5 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
