Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Abagrotis hermina sighting in Edmonton on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 295th most-seen of the 390 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 and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Abagrotis hermina in Edmonton on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months.
Only Edmonton, in our data
Edmonton is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Abagrotis hermina sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Abagrotis hermina that you can see in Edmonton (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are American Copper Underwing (about 10%), Alfalfa Looper (about 10%) and Bicolored Sallow (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Abagrotis hermina is recorded against all the insects logged in Edmonton (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.
