Eratophyes is a genus of moths in the family Oecophoridae. It contains only one species, Eratophyes amasiella, which is found in Asia Minor, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. It was first recorded in Belgium in 2004. The species was probably accidentally introduced in western Europe, most likely as a caterpillar or pupa, with logs.
The wingspan is 12.5–16 mm. Adults are on wing from late April to June. The larvae feed on decaying birch logs. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Schiffermuelleria amasiella sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 7 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Schiffermuelleria amasiella in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Only Berlin, in our data
Berlin is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Schiffermuelleria amasiella sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Schiffermuelleria amasiella is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (7 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.
