With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Triphosa sabaudiata sighting in Mercantour National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 307th most-seen of the 412 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Triphosa sabaudiata in Mercantour National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September and December–July, the lowest months. Those are among Mercantour National Park's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 50 mm in August.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Triphosa sabaudiata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mercantour National Park, in our data
Mercantour National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Triphosa sabaudiata sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Triphosa sabaudiata is recorded against all the insects logged in Mercantour National Park (8 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.
