Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sophronia santolinae sighting in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 528th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sophronia santolinae in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Sierra de Guadarrama National Park's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in November.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sophronia santolinae sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
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 Sophronia santolinae sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sophronia santolinae is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (5 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.
