Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Platycotis vittatus sighting in Washington on a given day, based on 122 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 253rd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–June and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Platycotis vittatus in Washington on a given day, against under 5% in July–September and December–April, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Platycotis vittatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 7 cities where we can rate Platycotis vittatus sightings, Washington has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Baltimore (United States, under 5%) and Orlando (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Platycotis vittatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Washington (122 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.
