Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sparganothis Fruitworm Moth sighting in Shenandoah National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 630th most-seen of the 723 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July–August and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sparganothis Fruitworm Moth in Shenandoah National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December–June, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sparganothis Fruitworm Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Shenandoah National Park, in our data
Shenandoah National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sparganothis Fruitworm Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sparganothis Fruitworm Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Shenandoah 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.
