Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Acontia leo sighting in New York City on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 768th most-seen of the 1623 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 an Acontia leo in New York City on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Acontia leo sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Acontia leo sightings, New York City ranks 5th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Baltimore (United States, under 5%), Washington (United States, under 5%) and Houston (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acontia leo is recorded against all the insects logged in New York City (17 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.
