Dichrostigma flavipes
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Dichrostigma flavipes is a species of snakefly in the family Raphidiidae. It is found in Western Europe. This species can be distinguished by its two-colored pterostigma that transitions from brown to yellow away from the body. The larvae of this species exclusively live in the soil around the roots of trees and bushes, where the larvae take two years to develop into adults. The adults of this species are euryoecious, meaning they are able to live in various habitats and conditions. However, they prefer more dry and hot places. These adult specimens primarily live at the edge of forests. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dichrostigma flavipes sighting in Bavarian Forest National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 822nd most-seen of the 1115 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dichrostigma flavipes in Bavarian Forest National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dichrostigma flavipes sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
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 Dichrostigma flavipes sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dichrostigma flavipes is recorded against all the insects logged in Bavarian Forest 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.
