Catarhoe basochesiata is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in Europe. It was first described by Philogène Duponchel in 1831 as Cidaria basochesiata. Catarhoe basochesiata has a wingspan of 23–27 mm (0.91–1.06 in). The forewings vary in colour from reddish brown to greyish brown, with some moths having very dark brown forewings that poorly contrast with the patterns on them. The moth can be found across the western Mediterranean, from the Iberian Peninsula across France and into Italy and from Morocco to Tunisia. The moth prefers hot, dry conditions in low coastal regions, from 0–500 m (0–1,640 ft) above sea level and occasionally higher. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Catarhoe basochesiata sighting in Lisbon on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 324th most-seen of the 441 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.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Catarhoe basochesiata in Lisbon on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of Lisbon's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain against almost none in July.
Only Lisbon, in our data
Lisbon is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Catarhoe basochesiata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Catarhoe basochesiata is recorded against all the insects logged in Lisbon (7 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.
