In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Evergestis frumentalis is a moth of the family Crambidae. It is found from the Iberian Peninsula through southern and central Europe and southern Fennoscandia to central Asia and southern Siberia. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1761.
The wingspan is 29–35 mm. There are two generations per year with adults on wing in April and August. The larvae feed on Descourainia sophia, Sisymbrium, Sinapis (including S. arvensis) and Isatis (including I. tinctoria) species. The larvae of the second generation overwinter in a cocoon in the soil. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Evergestis frumentalis sighting in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 300th most-seen of the 597 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.
April to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Evergestis frumentalis in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Evergestis frumentalis 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.
Only Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, in our data
Sierra de Guadarrama National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Evergestis frumentalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Evergestis frumentalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (12 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.
