Evergestis frumentalis is a moth of the family Crambidae. It is found from the Iberian Peninsula through southern and central Europe and southern Fennoscandia to central Asia and southern Siberia. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1761.
The wingspan is 29–35 mm. There are two generations per year with adults on wing in April and August. The larvae feed on Descourainia sophia, Sisymbrium, Sinapis (including S. arvensis) and Isatis (including I. tinctoria) species. The larvae of the second generation overwinter in a cocoon in the soil. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Evergestis frumentalis sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 869th most-seen of the 1065 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Evergestis frumentalis in Berlin on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Evergestis frumentalis 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.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Evergestis frumentalis sightings, Berlin ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Madrid (Spain, about 10%), Prague (Czechia, about 10%) and Vienna (Austria, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Evergestis frumentalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (8 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.
