Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tawny Eupithecia 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tawny Eupithecia Moth in Seattle on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Only Seattle, in our data
Seattle is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tawny Eupithecia Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tawny Eupithecia 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.
