Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red Piercer sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 392nd most-seen of the 838 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.
June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Piercer in Helsinki on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–May, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Piercer 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.

Same family: Tortricidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Piercer is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (14 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.
