Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black Longicorn Beetle sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 400th most-seen of the 1065 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Longicorn Beetle in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black Longicorn Beetle 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 10 cities where we can rate Black Longicorn Beetle sightings, Berlin ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Stockholm (Sweden, under 5%) and Prague (Czechia, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Black Longicorn Beetle that you can see in Berlin (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Fairy-Ring Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), Musk Beetle (about 10%) and Red Pine Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Longicorn Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (18 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.
