Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth sighting in Cévennes National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 896th most-seen of the 996 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.
June and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth in Cévennes National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–May, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
5th of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth sightings, Cévennes National Park ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, about 10%), Triglav National Park (Slovenia, about 10%) and Pyrénées National Park (France, about 10%).
Same genus: Pyrausta
The closest relatives of the Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth that you can see in Cévennes National Park (genus Pyrausta, Mint Moths) are Mint Moth (about 20%), Straw-Barred Pearl (about 10%) and Scarce Crimson And Gold (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Cévennes 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.
