Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a European Tarnished Plant Bug sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 593rd 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a European Tarnished Plant Bug in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in April–September and December–February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most European Tarnished Plant Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate European Tarnished Plant Bug sightings, Berlin ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Helsinki (Finland, about 10%), Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Stockholm (Sweden, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the European Tarnished Plant Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (12 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.
