Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ferruginous Eulia Moth sighting in Bavarian Forest National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 964th most-seen of the 1115 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ferruginous Eulia Moth in Bavarian Forest National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ferruginous Eulia Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Bavarian Forest National Park, in our data
Bavarian Forest National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ferruginous Eulia Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tortricidae
The closest relatives of the Ferruginous Eulia Moth that you can see in Bavarian Forest National Park (family Tortricidae, Tortricid Leafroller Moths) are Common Marble (about 10%), Arched Marble (about 10%) and Barred Fruit-Tree Tortrix (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ferruginous Eulia Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Bavarian Forest 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.
