Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Lined Panopoda Moth sighting in Boston on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1063rd most-seen of the 1200 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 Red-Lined Panopoda Moth in Boston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Lined Panopoda Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Red-Lined Panopoda Moth sightings, Boston ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Baltimore (United States, about 10%), Austin (United States, under 5%) and Washington (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Red-Lined Panopoda Moth that you can see in Boston (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Isabella Tiger Moth (about 20%), Virginian Tiger Moth (about 10%) and Green Cloverworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Lined Panopoda Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Boston (5 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.
