Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tissue Moth sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 54 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 112th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and August–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tissue Moth in Vancouver on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and November–February, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tissue Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Tissue Moth sightings, Vancouver ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Seattle (United States, about 10%) and Portland (United States, about 10%).
Same family: Geometridae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tissue Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Vancouver (54 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.
