Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Green Carpet sighting in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 703rd 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–May and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Green Carpet in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and June–September, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Green Carpet sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 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 Red-Green Carpet sightings, Pyrénées National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Snowdonia National Park (United Kingdom, about 20%), Cairngorms National Park (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, about 10%).
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Red-Green Carpet that you can see in Pyrénées National Park (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Latticed Heath (about 10%), Common Heath (about 10%) and Willow Beauty (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Green Carpet is recorded against all the insects logged in Pyrénées National Park (11 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.
