Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Many-Lined Carpet Moth sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 732nd 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 Many-Lined Carpet Moth in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Toronto, in our data
Toronto is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Many-Lined Carpet Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Geometridae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Many-Lined Carpet Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (18 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.
