Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Elkalyce amyntula sighting in Olympic National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 162nd most-seen of the 207 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Elkalyce amyntula in Olympic National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Olympic National Park's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 370 mm in November.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Elkalyce amyntula sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
9th of 9
Of the 9 parks where we can rate Elkalyce amyntula sightings, Olympic National Park ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kluane National Park (Canada, about 20%), Elk Island National Park (Canada, about 20%) and Channel Islands National Park (United States, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Elkalyce amyntula is recorded against all the insects logged in Olympic National Park (6 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.
