Endotricha flammealis, the rose-flounced tabby, is a species of snout moth, family Pyralidae. The proposed subspecies carnealis and several supposed varieties seem to be indistinguishable from typical individuals found in Austria.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rosy Tabby sighting in Porto on a given day, based on 77 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 82nd most-seen of the 498 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rosy Tabby is recorded against all the insects logged in Porto (77 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.
