Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Obscure Tortrix sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 732nd most-seen of the 838 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Obscure Tortrix in Helsinki on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Only Helsinki, in our data
Helsinki is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Obscure Tortrix sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tortricidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Obscure Tortrix is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (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.
