Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Green Carpet 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 630th 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.
October and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Green Carpet in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December to September, the lowest months. Those are among Wadden Sea National Park's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in April.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Green Carpet sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Red-Green Carpet sightings, Wadden Sea National Park ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Snowdonia National Park (United Kingdom, about 20%), Cairngorms National Park (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, about 10%).
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Red-Green Carpet that you can see in Wadden Sea National Park (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Riband Wave (about 10%), Yellow Shell Moth (about 10%) and Small Engrailed (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Green Carpet 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.
