Nematopogon metaxella
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Nematopogon metaxella is a moth of the Adelidae family. It is found in most of Europe. The wingspan is 15–17 mm. The head is ochreous-orange, the face whitish. The forewings shorter and broader, shining ochreous, indistinctly brownish strigulated with a brownish discal mark beyond middle. The hindwings are fuscous; cilia light grey, suffused basally with ochreous. To certainly determine the species of the genus Nematopogon dissection and study of the genitalia is necessary.
Adults are on wing from June to July.They fly in the afternoon and at dusk. The habitat is alluvial forest and high moorland forest. The larvae feed in a case among detritus and leaf-litter on the ground. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Buff Longhorn sighting in London on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1219th most-seen of the 1504 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Buff Longhorn in London on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only London, in our data
London is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Buff Longhorn sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Buff Longhorn is recorded against all the insects logged in London (8 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.
