Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Shaded Fan-Foot 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 Shaded Fan-Foot in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Shaded Fan-Foot sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Shaded Fan-Foot sightings, Moscow ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Porto (Portugal, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Shaded Fan-Foot 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.
