Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Colpa quinquecincta sighting in Lisbon on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 361st most-seen of the 441 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Colpa quinquecincta in Lisbon on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Lisbon's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 95 mm in November.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Colpa quinquecincta is recorded against all the insects logged in Lisbon (6 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.
