Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Synaphe moldavica 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Synaphe moldavica in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Synaphe moldavica sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Synaphe moldavica sightings, Madrid ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bucharest (Romania, about 10%), Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and Belgrade (Serbia, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Synaphe moldavica 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.
