With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Florentine Woolcarder Bee sighting in Madrid on a given day, based on 87 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 44th most-seen of the 457 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.
June to August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Florentine Woolcarder Bee in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in October to April, the lowest months. Those are among Madrid's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 65 mm in October.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Florentine Woolcarder Bee sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
11th of 22

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Florentine Woolcarder Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Madrid (87 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.
