Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Powdered Quaker sighting in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, based on 7 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Powdered Quaker in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months. That is one of Wadden Sea National Park's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 140 mm in November.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Powdered Quaker sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
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 Powdered Quaker sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Orthosia
The closest relatives of the Powdered Quaker that you can see in Wadden Sea National Park (genus Orthosia) are Hebrew Character (about 10%), Clouded Drab (about 10%) and Common Quaker (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Powdered Quaker is recorded against all the insects logged in Wadden Sea National Park (7 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.
