Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Many-Lined Moth sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 655th most-seen of the 753 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Many-Lined Moth in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Many-Lined Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (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.
