With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Anoxia orientalis sighting in Belgrade on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 17th most-seen of the 127 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Anoxia orientalis in Belgrade on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. That is one of Belgrade's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain against 45 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Anoxia orientalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Anoxia orientalis sightings, Belgrade ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Budapest (Hungary, about 10%).
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Anoxia orientalis that you can see in Belgrade (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Holochelus aequinoctialis (about 20%), Pentodon idiota (about 10%) and European Rhinoceros Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anoxia orientalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Belgrade (16 verified sightings), 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.
