Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Drab Looper 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.
April and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Drab Looper in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May and July–March, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Drab Looper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Drab Looper sightings, Pyrénées National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Cévennes National Park (France, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Drab Looper 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.
