Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Vetch Bruchid sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 828th 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 Vetch Bruchid 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 Vetch Bruchid sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Vetch Bruchid that you can see in Toronto (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Spotted Cucumber Beetle (about 10%) and Goldenrod Leaf Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Vetch Bruchid is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (28 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.
