Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Western Conifer Looper sighting in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 159th most-seen of the 235 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 and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Western Conifer Looper in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, against under 5% in June and August–April, the lowest months. Those are among Great Bear Rainforest's driest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 480 mm in November.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Western Conifer Looper sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Great Bear Rainforest, in our data
Great Bear Rainforest is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Western Conifer Looper sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Western Conifer Looper is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Bear Rainforest (9 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.
