Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pedilus terminalis sighting in Washington on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 990th most-seen of the 1807 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pedilus terminalis in Washington on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pedilus terminalis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Washington, in our data
Washington is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pedilus terminalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pedilus terminalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Washington (21 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.
