Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysopilus modestus sighting in Chicago on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 505th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysopilus modestus in Chicago on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chrysopilus modestus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Chrysopilus modestus sightings, Chicago ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Washington (United States, about 10%), Baltimore (United States, under 5%) and Philadelphia (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chrysopilus modestus is recorded against all the insects logged in Chicago (17 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.
