Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orache Moth sighting in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 536th 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.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orache Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Orache Moth sightings, Wadden Sea National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, about 10%), Cévennes National Park (France, under 5%) and Pyrénées National Park (France, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orache Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Wadden Sea National Park (9 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.
