Anania stachydalis is a species of moth of the family Crambidae. It is found in Europe. The species closely resembles Anania coronata. The wingspan is 23–25 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous; lines hardly darker, first indistinct, second forming a very strong curve outwards above middle, and a deep abrupt sinuation inwards below it, preceded by a whitish -yellowish spot in the curve, and interruptedly edged posteriorly with whitish-yellowish on upper half; orbicular dot and linear discal mark darker, separated by a whitish-yellowish spot. Hindwings as forewings, but pale spots in disc larger and approximated; a pale costal spot before second line. The larva is green, incisions white; subdorsal line white; spiracular fine, whitish; spots green, whitish-ringed; head whitish.
The moth flies from May to August depending on the location. The larvae feed on Stachys. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Woundwort Pearl sighting in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 940th most-seen of the 1277 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.
June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Woundwort Pearl in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–May, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Woundwort Pearl sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Woundwort Pearl sightings, Pyrénées National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Woundwort Pearl is recorded against all the insects logged in Pyrénées National Park (7 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.
