Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Weidemeyer's Admiral sighting in Salt Lake City on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 139th most-seen of the 242 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Weidemeyer's Admiral in Salt Lake City on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Salt Lake City's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 70 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Weidemeyer's Admiral sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Salt Lake City, in our data
Salt Lake City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Weidemeyer's Admiral sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Weidemeyer's Admiral is recorded against all the insects logged in Salt Lake City (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.
