Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Xylesthia albicans sighting in San Diego on a given day, based on 41 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 201st most-seen of the 693 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.
August and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xylesthia albicans in San Diego on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among San Diego's driest months, with about 5 mm of rain a month against 55 mm in February.
Only San Diego, in our data
San Diego is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Xylesthia albicans sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xylesthia albicans is recorded against all the insects logged in San Diego (41 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.
