Pediasia luteella is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. It is found in most of Europe (except Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the Iberian Peninsula). In the east, the range extends to Central Asia, the northern Caucasus, Transcaucasia, southern Siberia and Mongolia.
Adults are on wing from the end of May to mid-July in one generation per year. The larvae feed on Festuca ovina and Poa species. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pediasia luteella sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 523rd 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 a Pediasia luteella in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Pediasia luteella sightings, Moscow ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%), Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Pediasia luteella 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 Pediasia luteella is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (16 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.
