Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rose Plume Moth sighting in Detroit on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 236th most-seen of the 268 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rose Plume Moth in Detroit on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rose Plume Moth sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Rose Plume Moth sightings, Detroit ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%) and Montreal (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rose Plume Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Detroit (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.
