With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pygmy sighting in Cévennes National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 527th most-seen of the 996 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.
May–June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pygmy in Cévennes National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–April, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pygmy sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pygmy is recorded against all the insects logged in Cévennes National Park (12 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.
