Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Lichen Moth sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1212th 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 a Pale Lichen 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 Pale Lichen Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Pale Lichen Moth that you can see in Toronto (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Spongy Moth (about 20%), Hickory Tussock Moth (about 10%) and Isabella Tiger Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale Lichen Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (8 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.
