Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hook-Tipped Roller 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.
May and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hook-Tipped Roller in Bavarian Forest National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June and September–April, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hook-Tipped Roller sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen 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 Hook-Tipped Roller sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Ancylis

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hook-Tipped Roller 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.
