Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Wavy-Barred Sable sighting in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 657th 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 to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Wavy-Barred Sable in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Wavy-Barred Sable sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 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 Wavy-Barred Sable sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wavy-Barred Sable is recorded against all the insects logged in Pyrénées National Park (12 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.
