Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Hyppa Moth sighting in Montreal on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 842nd 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 Common Hyppa Moth in Montreal on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Common Hyppa Moth sightings, Montreal ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Toronto (Canada, under 5%) and Boston (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Common Hyppa Moth that you can see in Montreal (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are American Dagger (about 10%), Large Yellow Underwing (about 10%) and Eight-Spotted Forester Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Hyppa Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Montreal (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.
