Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gray Spruce Looper Moth sighting in Seattle on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 380th 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 Gray Spruce Looper Moth in Seattle on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gray Spruce Looper Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Seattle, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gray Spruce Looper Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Seattle (5 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.
