Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Ectemnius sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 612th most-seen of the 1689 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 Common Ectemnius in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Ectemnius sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Common Ectemnius sightings, Toronto has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Boston (United States, under 5%) and Montreal (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Ectemnius is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (23 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.
