Bombus mucidus is a species of bumblebee. It is native to southern Europe. The species' local common names include Grauweiße Hummel. This is a species of high-altitude mountain habitat. It occurs in the mountain ranges of southern Europe, including the Cordillera Cantábrica, the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Apennines, the Balkans, the Carpathians, and the Crna Gora Mountains. It occurs in prefers the warmer southern slopes, where it lives in subalpine grassland habitat. It feeds on many kinds of plants.
This species has a fragmented distribution because it is limited to high mountains across the region. It is susceptible to population declines caused by climate change, as cooler mountain habitat shrinks. It is still common in some areas of its range. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bombus mucidus sighting in Hohe Tauern National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 115th most-seen of the 165 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bombus mucidus is recorded against all the insects logged in Hohe Tauern National Park (6 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.
