In 3 days ~10%
Cycnia oregonensis is a moth in the family Erebidae. It is found in most of North America, from coast to coast and from the border with Mexico north to central Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. The length of the forewings is 19–20 mm. Throughout most of its range, adults are nearly uniform in color and pattern. Subspecies tristis is limited to a small area near Olympia, Washington and is the only known population of this species in Washington west of the Cascades. It is distinctly grayer and less patterned than all other populations.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oregon Cycnia Moth sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1296th most-seen of the 1689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oregon Cycnia 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 Oregon Cycnia Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oregon Cycnia Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (7 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.
