With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chelidurella acanthopygia sighting in Bavarian Forest National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 288th most-seen of the 1115 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Chelidurella acanthopygia in Bavarian Forest National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June and July, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chelidurella acanthopygia 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 Bavarian Forest National Park, in our data
Bavarian Forest National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Chelidurella acanthopygia sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chelidurella acanthopygia is recorded against all the insects logged in Bavarian Forest National Park (20 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.
