Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Stout-Horned Luperine sighting in Phoenix on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 168th most-seen of the 264 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Stout-Horned Luperine in Phoenix on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months. That is one of Phoenix's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 35 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange Stout-Horned Luperine sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Phoenix, in our data
Phoenix is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Orange Stout-Horned Luperine sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange Stout-Horned Luperine is recorded against all the insects logged in Phoenix (9 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.
