Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Spotted Macrophya 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 806th 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 June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Spotted Macrophya in Pyrénées National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-Spotted Macrophya sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Spotted Macrophya 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.
