With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a European Beak sighting in Budapest on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 69th most-seen of the 404 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April, June and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a European Beak in Budapest on a given day, against under 5% in August and December–January, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most European Beak sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 7 cities where we can rate European Beak sightings, Budapest has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Turin (Italy, about 10%) and Barcelona (Spain, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the European Beak is recorded against all the insects logged in Budapest (29 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.
