With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Bar Grass-Veneer sighting in Bucharest on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 121st most-seen of the 361 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Bar Grass-Veneer in Bucharest on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. That is one of Bucharest's wettest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 35 mm in February.
Between 11 pm and 2 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange-Bar Grass-Veneer 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.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Orange-Bar Grass-Veneer sightings, Bucharest ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 20%).
Same family: Crambidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-Bar Grass-Veneer is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (15 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.
