Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bembix oculata 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bembix oculata in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Madrid's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 65 mm in October.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bembix oculata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Bembix oculata sightings, Madrid ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%), Barcelona (Spain, under 5%) and Lisbon (Portugal, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bembix oculata 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.
