Phyllocnistis ampelopsiella
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Phyllocnistis ampelopsiella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae, known from Québec and the United States (Colorado, Kentucky, Maine and New York). The host plants for the species include Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Psedera quinquefolia, and Vitis vinifera. They mine the leaves of their host plant, producing a white, convoluted mine on the underside of the leaf. Although it is somewhat linear, it winds about from the midrib
to the margin and back, between the veins of the leaf until the entire cuticle in the mined portion is separated, and the mine becomes a blotch. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Phyllocnistis ampelopsiella sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 19 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 Phyllocnistis ampelopsiella in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Phyllocnistis ampelopsiella sightings, Toronto has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Miami (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phyllocnistis ampelopsiella is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (19 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.
