Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Platycotis vittatus sighting in Philadelphia on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 510th most-seen of the 632 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 Platycotis vittatus in Philadelphia 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 Platycotis vittatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Platycotis vittatus sightings, Philadelphia ranks 6th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Washington (United States, under 5%), Baltimore (United States, under 5%) and Orlando (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Platycotis vittatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Philadelphia (6 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.
