With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pyralis regalis sighting in Cévennes National Park on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 329th most-seen of the 996 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.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pyralis regalis in Cévennes National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months. That is one of Cévennes National Park's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain against 260 mm in October.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pyralis regalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Cévennes National Park, in our data
Cévennes National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pyralis regalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pyralis regalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Cévennes National Park (28 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.
