With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Western Marbled White sighting in Barcelona on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 204th most-seen of the 381 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 and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Western Marbled White in Barcelona on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Western Marbled White sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Barcelona, in our data
Barcelona is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Western Marbled White sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Western Marbled White is recorded against all the insects logged in Barcelona (16 verified sightings), 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.
