Larvae The larvae feed on European dewberry (Rubus caesius), Rubus canescens, Armenian blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), blackberry (Rubus fruticosus), Rubus grabowskii, Rubus hypargyrus, raspberry (Rubus idaeus), evergreen blackberry (Rubus laciniatus), Rubus macrophyllus, Rubus nemorosus and stone bramble (Rubus saxatilis).

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bordered Carl sighting in Liverpool on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 255th most-seen of the 632 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Bordered Carl in Liverpool on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April and June–July, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bordered Carl sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Bordered Carl sightings, Liverpool has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come London (United Kingdom, under 5%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Bordered Carl that you can see in Liverpool (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Large Yellow Underwing (about 50%), Light Brown Apple Moth (about 50%) and Speckled Wood (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bordered Carl is recorded against all the insects logged in Liverpool (28 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.
