With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Green Carpet sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 322nd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and September–November

Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Green Carpet sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Red-Green Carpet that you can see in Berlin (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Small Dusty Wave (about 10%), Yellow Shell Moth (about 10%) and Willow Beauty (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Green Carpet is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (27 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.
