With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Zygaena lavandulae sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 390th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Zygaena lavandulae in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and July–February, the lowest months. That is one of Sierra Nevada National Park's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain against 30 mm in July.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Zygaena lavandulae sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Zygaena lavandulae sightings, Sierra Nevada National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Cévennes National Park (France, about 10%) and Pyrénées National Park (France, under 5%).
Same genus: Zygaena

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Zygaena lavandulae is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada 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.
