Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leconte's Haploa Moth sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 26 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 Leconte's Haploa Moth in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leconte's Haploa Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 4 cities where we can rate Leconte's Haploa Moth sightings, Toronto ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Edmonton (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leconte's Haploa Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (26 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.
