Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Olive sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 608th most-seen of the 1111 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 an Olive in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Olive sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Moscow, in our data
Moscow is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Olive sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Olive that you can see in Moscow (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Large Yellow Underwing (about 10%), Sycamore Moth (about 10%) and Silver Υ (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olive is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (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.
