About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Poecile Checkerspot sighting in Ostional Wildlife Refuge on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 10th most-seen of the 47 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Poecile Checkerspot sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Ostional Wildlife Refuge, in our data
Ostional Wildlife Refuge is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Poecile Checkerspot sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Poecile Checkerspot is recorded against all the insects logged in Ostional Wildlife Refuge (17 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.
