Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gaultheria Leafminer Moth sighting in Portland on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 466th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gaultheria Leafminer Moth in Portland on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

Of the 3 cities where we can rate Gaultheria Leafminer Moth sightings, Portland ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Vancouver (Canada, under 5%) and Seattle (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gaultheria Leafminer Moth 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.
