The longhorn moth or yellow-barred long-horn (Nemophora degeerella) is a diurnal lepidopteran from the moths family Adelidae (fairy longhorn moths). This species is present on most of Europe, but it is fairly common in north west Europe. The habitat of these moths is damp deciduous forests with wooded lanes and hedgerows.
The wingspan of Nemophora degeerella ranges from 18–20 millimetres (0.71–0.79 in) in males, from 15–18 millimetres (0.59–0.71 in) in females. The head is dark brown, with dark and yellow hair-like scales. The thorax has a bronzy golden shining. Forewings are shiny bronzy golden yellow or shiny ochreous with longitudinal dark brown and lead-gray blueish-violet shining streaks. A yellow transversal band cross the whole forewings, framed by two lead-gray blueish-violet shining stripes with a dark brown border. The three longitudinal lead-gray, blueish-violet shining stripes situated in the basal part of the wings do not treach the transversal fascia. Rear wings are brownish gray.
The longhorn moth males have filiform antennae ranging up to five times their body length, while the female has much shorter antennae. Moreover... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Barred Longhorn sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 52 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 211th 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Barred Longhorn in Moscow on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Moscow's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-Barred Longhorn sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
15th of 17
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Yellow-Barred Longhorn sightings, Moscow ranks 15th at under 5%. The best odds are in Leeds (United Kingdom, about 10%), Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%) and London (United Kingdom, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Barred Longhorn is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (52 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.
