| # | Park | Country | Daily sighting probability |

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Idaea flaveolaria sighting in Ecrins National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 250th most-seen of the 251 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Idaea flaveolaria in Ecrins National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Ecrins National Park's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 160 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Idaea flaveolaria sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Idaea flaveolaria sightings, Ecrins National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Vanoise National Park (France, about 10%) and Mercantour National Park (France, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Idaea flaveolaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Ecrins National Park (11 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
