Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Asphondylia rudbeckiaeconspicua sighting in Chicago on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 371st most-seen of the 978 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asphondylia rudbeckiaeconspicua in Chicago on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asphondylia rudbeckiaeconspicua sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Chicago, in our data
Chicago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Asphondylia rudbeckiaeconspicua sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asphondylia rudbeckiaeconspicua is recorded against all the insects logged in Chicago (28 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.
