Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Gaultheria Leafminer Moth sighting in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, based on 162 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 235 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and June
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Gaultheria Leafminer Moth in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, against under 5% in January, July–August and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gaultheria Leafminer Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Gaultheria Leafminer Moth sightings, Great Bear Rainforest ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (Canada, about 20%).
Same family: Gracillariidae
The closest relatives of the Gaultheria Leafminer Moth that you can see in Great Bear Rainforest (family Gracillariidae, Leaf Blotch Miner Moths) are Labrador Tea Leaf Miner (about 10%) and Madrone Skin Miner (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gaultheria Leafminer Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Bear Rainforest (162 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.
