Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cherry Fruit Moth sighting in London on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1005th 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 Cherry Fruit Moth in London on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cherry Fruit Moth 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 4 cities where we can rate Cherry Fruit Moth sightings, London ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Munich (Germany, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cherry Fruit Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in London (12 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.
