Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ancylosis cinnamomella sighting in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 416th most-seen of the 597 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.
March, May and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ancylosis cinnamomella in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April, June and August–February, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ancylosis cinnamomella sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, in our data
Sierra de Guadarrama National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ancylosis cinnamomella sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ancylosis cinnamomella is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (8 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.
