Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth sighting in Brussels on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 235th most-seen of the 337 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 and July–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth in Brussels on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and October–March, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth sightings, Brussels ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in London (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Milan (Italy, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Crimson-And-Gold Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Brussels (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.
