Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Protaetia oblonga sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 113th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Protaetia oblonga in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months. That is one of Sierra Nevada National Park's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 130 mm in March.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Protaetia oblonga sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Protaetia oblonga sightings, Sierra Nevada National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Cévennes National Park (France, about 10%) and Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Protaetia oblonga is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (18 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.
