With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Horned Green Colonel sighting in Fertő-Hanság National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 162nd most-seen of the 243 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.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Horned Green Colonel in Fertő-Hanság National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange-Horned Green Colonel sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Fertő-Hanság National Park, in our data
Fertő-Hanság National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Orange-Horned Green Colonel sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-Horned Green Colonel is recorded against all the insects logged in Fertő-Hanság National Park (14 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
