Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Belted Plumehorn sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 743rd most-seen of the 916 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Belted Plumehorn in Paris on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange-Belted Plumehorn sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Orange-Belted Plumehorn sightings, Paris ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Essen (Germany, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-Belted Plumehorn is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (6 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.
