Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Marmara oregonensis sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 328th most-seen of the 482 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.
December
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Marmara oregonensis in Vancouver on a given day, against under 5% in January to November, the lowest months. That is one of Vancouver's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain against 25 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Marmara oregonensis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Vancouver, in our data
Vancouver is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Marmara oregonensis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Marmara oregonensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Vancouver (9 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.
