Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Imatisma posticata sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 542nd 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.

In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Imatisma posticata in Toronto on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Imatisma posticata sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Imatisma posticata sightings, Toronto ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Boston (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Imatisma posticata is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (28 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.
