Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bulrush Veneer sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 992nd most-seen of the 1111 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bulrush Veneer in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bulrush Veneer sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Bulrush Veneer sightings, Moscow ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Liverpool (United Kingdom, under 5%), Seoul (South Korea, under 5%) and Birmingham (United Kingdom, under 5%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Bulrush Veneer that you can see in Moscow (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Mother Of Pearl (about 10%) and Garden Grass-Veneer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bulrush Veneer is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (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.
