Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Grass Eggar sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 392nd most-seen of the 521 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.
May and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grass Eggar in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and September–April, the lowest months. Those are among Munich's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grass Eggar sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Grass Eggar sightings, Munich ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Lisbon (Portugal, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grass Eggar is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (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.
