With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orthosia praeses sighting in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 67th most-seen of the 235 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Orthosia praeses in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, against under 5% in June to February, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orthosia praeses sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Great Bear Rainforest, in our data
Great Bear Rainforest is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Orthosia praeses sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orthosia praeses is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Bear Rainforest (34 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.
