With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Penthophera morio sighting in Budapest on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 306th most-seen of the 404 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Penthophera morio in Budapest on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Penthophera morio sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Penthophera morio sightings, Budapest ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Vienna (Austria, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Penthophera morio that you can see in Budapest (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Four-Spotted Moth (about 20%), Nine-Spotted Moth (about 10%) and Red Underwing (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Penthophera morio is recorded against all the insects logged in Budapest (6 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.
