Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Stigma sighting in Prague on a given day, based on 6 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Stigma in Prague on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.
Only Prague, in our data
Prague is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pale Stigma sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Pale Stigma that you can see in Prague (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Silver Υ (about 10%), Large Yellow Underwing (about 10%) and Knot Grass Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale Stigma is recorded against all the insects logged in Prague (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.
