Morimus funereus
In 3 days ~70% in a week ~90%
Morimus funereus is a species of beetle in family Cerambycidae. It is found in Greece, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Belgium, Croatia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovakia, Ukraine, Türkiye and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is somewhat similar to another cerambycid, Rosalia alpina, which however is narrower and has three pairs of black spots. Also Herophila tristis has a similar body shape and markings, but the antennal segments 2 and beyond are much shorter.
Some suggest this taxon should be treated as a subspecies of Morimus asper, giving it the scientific name Morimus asper funereus. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Morimus funereus sighting in Triglav National Park on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 19th most-seen of the 260 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Morimus funereus in Triglav National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–March and September–November, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Morimus funereus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Triglav National Park, in our data
Triglav National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Morimus funereus sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Morimus funereus is recorded against all the insects logged in Triglav National Park (47 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.
