With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hubbard's Silk Moth sighting in Saguaro National Park on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 71st most-seen of the 354 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Hubbard's Silk Moth in Saguaro National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–May and November, the lowest months. That is one of Saguaro National Park's wettest months, with about 50 mm of rain against almost none in May.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hubbard's Silk Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Saguaro National Park, in our data
Saguaro National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hubbard's Silk Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hubbard's Silk Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Saguaro National Park (35 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.
