Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Drasteria cailino sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 60th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Drasteria cailino in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September to March, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Drasteria cailino sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Drasteria cailino sightings, Sierra Nevada National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Drasteria cailino that you can see in Sierra Nevada National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Discrete Chaperon (about 20%), The Passenger (about 10%) and Speckled Footman (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Drasteria cailino is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (31 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.
