Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Volucella elegans sighting in Porto on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 422nd most-seen of the 498 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 and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Volucella elegans in Porto on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Porto's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 140 mm in January.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Volucella elegans sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Volucella elegans sightings, Porto ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Madrid (Spain, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Volucella elegans is recorded against all the insects logged in Porto (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.
