With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Peck's Skipper sighting in Edmonton on a given day, based on 73 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 64th most-seen of the 390 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Peck's Skipper in Edmonton on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Edmonton's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Peck's Skipper sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Peck's Skipper sightings, Edmonton ranks 10th at about 10%. The best odds are in Detroit (United States, about 30%), Minneapolis [Saint Paul] (United States, about 20%) and Toronto (Canada, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Peck's Skipper is recorded against all the insects logged in Edmonton (73 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.
