Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pacific Clubtail sighting in Portland on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 316th 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 and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pacific Clubtail in Portland on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Portland's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 250 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pacific Clubtail sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Pacific Clubtail sightings, Portland ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sacramento (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pacific Clubtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Portland (19 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.
