No species of the same family or order lives in Vancouver, so these are its closest relatives here: other insects.
Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Boreus elegans sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 439th most-seen of the 482 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Boreus elegans in Vancouver on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months.
Only Vancouver, in our data
Vancouver is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Boreus elegans sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Boreus elegans is recorded against all the insects logged in Vancouver (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.
