Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Apple Pith Moth sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1296th most-seen of the 1689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Apple Pith Moth in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Apple Pith Moth sightings, Toronto ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Montreal (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Apple Pith Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (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.
