Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black Collar Moth sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 113th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black Collar Moth in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and November–March, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black Collar Moth 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 Nevada National Park, in our data
Sierra Nevada National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black Collar Moth sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Collar Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (20 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.
