With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a European Beak sighting in Turin on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 152nd most-seen of the 197 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a European Beak in Turin on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–February, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most European Beak sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate European Beak sightings, Turin ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Budapest (Hungary, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the European Beak that you can see in Turin (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Red Admiral (about 30%), Speckled Wood (about 20%) and Spotted Fritillary (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the European Beak is recorded against all the insects logged in Turin (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.
