With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ematheudes punctellus sighting in Rome on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 119th most-seen of the 289 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Ematheudes punctellus in Rome on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months. That is one of Rome's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 110 mm in November.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ematheudes punctellus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ematheudes punctellus is recorded against all the insects logged in Rome (12 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.
