[synonym] Forewing greyish ochreous, dusted with dark brown; inner and outer lines dark yellowish brown, bent below costa and somewhat sinuous; subterminal line cloudy, dark brown, nearly straight; cell mark dark, ill-defined; hindwing whitish dusted with fuscous except towards costa and apex, with obscure dark outer and subterminal lines. Larva diffusely yellow and red, sometimes wood brown; dorsal line broad, brown; a square white spot in the incisions of the segments; subdorsal lines narrow; a strong dark oblique streak at sides of each segment; head dull black. The wingspan is 24–30 millimetres (0.94–1.18 in).
Adults are on wing from April to October, depending on location. There are two generations per year. Larvae are found from August to May or June and feed on various deciduous trees, shrubs and herbs, including bramble (Rubus species), roses (Rosa species), broom (Cytisus species... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plumed Fan-Foot sighting in Madrid on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 409th most-seen of the 457 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Plumed Fan-Foot in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
8th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Plumed Fan-Foot sightings, Madrid ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Budapest (Hungary, about 10%), Belgrade (Serbia, about 10%) and London (United Kingdom, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plumed Fan-Foot is recorded against all the insects logged in Madrid (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.
