4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Hemipenthes velutina sightings, Madrid ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Athens (Greece, about 10%), Barcelona (Spain, about 10%) and Budapest (Hungary, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hemipenthes velutina is recorded against all the insects logged in Madrid (9 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.
