Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Dorcadion aethiops sighting in Hortobágy National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 22 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Dorcadion aethiops in Hortobágy National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and September–October, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dorcadion aethiops sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Dorcadion aethiops sightings, Hortobágy National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Kiskunság National Park (Hungary, about 30%) and Fertő-Hanság National Park (Hungary, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dorcadion aethiops is recorded against all the insects logged in Hortobágy National Park (12 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.
