Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bumblebee Robberfly sighting in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 738th most-seen of the 1277 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bumblebee Robberfly in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June and August–April, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bumblebee Robberfly sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Bumblebee Robberfly sightings, Pyrénées National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Cairngorms National Park (United Kingdom, about 10%), Mercantour National Park (France, about 10%) and Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bumblebee Robberfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Pyrénées National Park (10 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.
