With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a European Bladetail sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 343rd 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 to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a European Bladetail in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate European Bladetail sightings, Berlin has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Hamburg (Germany, under 5%) and Boston (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Asilidae
The closest relatives of the European Bladetail that you can see in Berlin (family Asilidae, Robber Flies) are Brown Heath Robberfly (about 10%), Eutolmus rufibarbis (about 10%) and Stripe-Legged Robber Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the European Bladetail is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (22 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.
