Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Range Crane Fly sighting in Sacramento on a given day, based on 12 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.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Range Crane Fly in Sacramento on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months. That is one of Sacramento's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain against almost none in July.
Only Sacramento, in our data
Sacramento is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Range Crane Fly sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Range Crane Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Sacramento (12 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.
