Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lilac-Bordered Copper 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 182nd 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.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lilac-Bordered Copper in Olympic National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Olympic National Park's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 370 mm in November.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lilac-Bordered Copper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Lilac-Bordered Copper sightings, Olympic National Park ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Yosemite National Park (United States, about 10%), Grand Teton National Park (United States, about 10%) and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (United States, about 10%).
Same genus: Tharsalea
The closest relatives of the Lilac-Bordered Copper that you can see in Olympic National Park (genus Tharsalea) are Purplish Copper (about 10%) and Mariposa Copper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lilac-Bordered Copper 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.
