Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Exoprosopa capucina sighting in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 940th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Exoprosopa capucina in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Exoprosopa capucina sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Pyrénées National Park, in our data
Pyrénées National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Exoprosopa capucina sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Exoprosopa capucina is recorded against all the insects logged in Pyrénées National Park (7 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.
