Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Double-Striped Scoparia Moth sighting in Seattle on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 306th most-seen of the 428 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Double-Striped Scoparia Moth in Seattle on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Double-Striped Scoparia Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Double-Striped Scoparia Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Seattle (8 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.
