Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a New York Carpenter Ant sighting in Montreal on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 412th 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 New York Carpenter Ant in Montreal on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most New York Carpenter Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate New York Carpenter Ant sightings, Montreal ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Edmonton (Canada, about 10%), Toronto (Canada, under 5%) and Boston (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the New York Carpenter Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Montreal (16 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.
