With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Triangle Snout sighting in Jerusalem on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 112th most-seen of the 137 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Triangle Snout in Jerusalem on a given day, against under 5% in January–June, August–September and November, the lowest months. That is one of Jerusalem's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 90 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown Triangle Snout sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Brown Triangle Snout sightings, Jerusalem ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Valencia (Spain, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Brown Triangle Snout that you can see in Jerusalem (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Crimson-Speckled Flunkey (about 10%) and Cymbalophora oertzeni (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Triangle Snout is recorded against all the insects logged in Jerusalem (5 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.
