Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Argyresthia calliphanes sighting in Montreal on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 502nd most-seen of the 926 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Argyresthia calliphanes in Montreal on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Argyresthia calliphanes sightings, Montreal has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Vancouver (Canada, under 5%) and Toronto (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Argyresthia calliphanes is recorded against all the insects logged in Montreal (12 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.
