Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Geminaria canalis sighting in Saguaro National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 300th most-seen of the 354 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.
March and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Geminaria canalis in Saguaro National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–August and October–February, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Geminaria canalis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Saguaro National Park, in our data
Saguaro National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Geminaria canalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Geminaria canalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Saguaro National Park (5 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.
