Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Purple Phaedon sighting in Phoenix on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 136th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Purple Phaedon in Phoenix on a given day, against under 5% in April–September and December–January, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Purple Phaedon sightings, Phoenix ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Mesa (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Purple Phaedon is recorded against all the insects logged in Phoenix (13 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.
