Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aglossa brabanti sighting in Madrid on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 409th most-seen of the 457 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Aglossa brabanti in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Madrid's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 65 mm in October.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aglossa brabanti is recorded against all the insects logged in Madrid (5 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.
