Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Ocnogyna loewii sighting in Tel Aviv on a given day, based on 111 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 7th most-seen of the 264 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report an Ocnogyna loewii in Tel Aviv on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and August–October, the lowest months. That is one of Tel Aviv's wettest months, with about 60 mm of rain against almost none in August.
Only Tel Aviv, in our data
Tel Aviv is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ocnogyna loewii sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Ocnogyna loewii that you can see in Tel Aviv (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Crimson-Speckled Flunkey (about 20%), Brown Triangle Snout (about 10%) and Green Drab (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ocnogyna loewii is recorded against all the insects logged in Tel Aviv (111 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.
