Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Selagia argyrella 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Selagia argyrella in Prague on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Selagia argyrella 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.
