Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a California Anglewing sighting in Sacramento on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 238th most-seen of the 386 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.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a California Anglewing in Sacramento on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Sacramento's driest months, with almost no rain against 120 mm in December.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most California Anglewing sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate California Anglewing sightings, Sacramento has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Los Angeles (United States, under 5%) and San Diego (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the California Anglewing is recorded against all the insects logged in Sacramento (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.
