Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hedychrum rutilans sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 694th 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hedychrum rutilans in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Berlin's wettest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 30 mm in April.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hedychrum rutilans sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Hedychrum rutilans sightings, Berlin ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%) and Cologne (Germany, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hedychrum rutilans is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (10 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.
