With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Laned Wave sighting in Athens on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 40th most-seen of the 242 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Laned Wave in Athens on a given day, against under 5% in September, the lowest month. That is one of Athens's wettest months, with about 70 mm of rain against 10 mm in August.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Laned Wave sightings, Athens ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%).
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Laned Wave that you can see in Athens (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Double-Striped Pug (about 10%), Peribatodes correptaria (about 10%) and Idaea distinctaria (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Laned Wave is recorded against all the insects logged in Athens (22 verified sightings), 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.
