Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Protaetia oblonga sighting in Madrid on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 350th 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Protaetia oblonga in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Madrid's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 65 mm in October.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Protaetia oblonga sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Madrid, in our data
Madrid is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Protaetia oblonga sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Protaetia oblonga is recorded against all the insects logged in Madrid (7 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.
