With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scopula ordinata sighting in Great Smoky Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 236th most-seen of the 822 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.
May–June and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scopula ordinata in Great Smoky Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–April, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scopula ordinata sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scopula ordinata is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (21 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.
