Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Olive sighting in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 699th most-seen of the 818 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Olive in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Olive sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Wadden Sea National Park, in our data
Wadden Sea National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Olive sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olive is recorded against all the insects logged in Wadden Sea National Park (6 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.
