In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Pieris angelika, the Arctic white, is a cold-climate butterfly of the family Pieridae. Its main range is in north-western Canada (Yukon, Northwest Territories, north-western British Columbia) and Alaska. Its taxonomic name may change in the future, because it was previously described and named before 1983. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Arctic White sighting in Denali National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 36 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Arctic White in Denali National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and August–September, the lowest months. November to February have too few records to rate.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Arctic White sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Arctic White sightings, Denali National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kluane National Park (Canada, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Arctic White is recorded against all the insects logged in Denali National Park (11 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
