Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Pink-Barred sighting in Prague on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 316th most-seen of the 724 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Pink-Barred in Prague on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–May, the lowest months. Those are among Prague's wettest months, with about 80 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in February.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Pink-Barred is recorded against all the insects logged in Prague (16 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.
