Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Kayak Pond Skater sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 867th 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 Kayak Pond Skater in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Kayak Pond Skater sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Kayak Pond Skater sightings, Toronto ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Minneapolis [Saint Paul] (United States, under 5%) and Montreal (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kayak Pond Skater is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (17 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.
