Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Belted Whiteface sighting in Montreal on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 749th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Belted Whiteface in Montreal on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Belted Whiteface sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Montreal, in our data
Montreal is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Belted Whiteface sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Belted Whiteface is recorded against all the insects logged in Montreal (10 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.
