Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hecatera weissi 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hecatera weissi in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 11 pm and 2 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hecatera weissi sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Madrid, in our data
Madrid is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hecatera weissi sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hecatera weissi 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.
