Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Acmaeoderella flavofasciata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Acmaeoderella flavofasciata sightings, Pyrénées National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Cévennes National Park (France, about 10%) and Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acmaeoderella flavofasciata is recorded against all the insects logged in Pyrénées National Park (5 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.
