Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a The Druid sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 486th 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 The Druid in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 pm and 2 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most The Druid sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate The Druid sightings, Moscow ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Vienna (Austria, about 10%), Nizhny Novgorod (Russia, under 5%) and Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%).
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the The Druid 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 The Druid is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (17 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.
