Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Idaea moniliata sighting in Prague on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 647th most-seen of the 724 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 an Idaea moniliata in Prague on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Idaea moniliata 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.
Only Prague, in our data
Prague is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Idaea moniliata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Idaea

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Idaea moniliata is recorded against all the insects logged in Prague (5 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.
