In 3 days ~10%
Epinotia maculana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in most of Europe (except Iceland, the Iberian Peninsula, Ukraine, and most of the Balkan Peninsula), east to the eastern part of the Palearctic realm. The wingspan is 17–23 mm. The forewings are ashy-grey, with the basal portion dark and nebulose, and the apical part waved with slender black streaks, towards the inner margin before the middle is an obscure black dot, and a larger red-brown one towards the anal angle, but nearly obsolete. The hind wings are brown and shining. Adults are on wing from August to October.
The larvae feed on Populus tremula and possibly other Populus species. They feed within rolled leaves. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dark Aspen Bell sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 841st 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 Dark Aspen Bell in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Moscow, in our data
Moscow is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dark Aspen Bell sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dark Aspen Bell is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (7 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.
