Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Etorofus obliteratus sighting in Portland on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 358th most-seen of the 507 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Etorofus obliteratus in Portland on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Portland's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 250 mm in December.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Etorofus obliteratus is recorded against all the insects logged in Portland (10 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.
