Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stigmella argentifasciella sighting in Boston on a given day, based on 6 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 Stigmella argentifasciella in Boston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Boston, in our data
Boston is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Stigmella argentifasciella sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Stigmella
The closest relatives of the Stigmella argentifasciella that you can see in Boston (genus Stigmella) are Stigmella prunifoliella (about 10%), Stigmella intermedia (about 10%) and Stigmella rosaefoliella (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stigmella argentifasciella is recorded against all the insects logged in Boston (6 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.
