Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yarrow Plume Moth sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 911th 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 Yarrow Plume Moth in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Yarrow Plume Moth sightings, Moscow ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Minneapolis [Saint Paul] (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yarrow Plume Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (6 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.
