Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lythria cruentaria sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 526th 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.
April and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lythria cruentaria in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and August–March, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lythria cruentaria sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Lythria cruentaria sightings, Berlin has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Helsinki (Finland, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lythria cruentaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (13 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.
