Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hispa atra sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 745th 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hispa atra in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months. That is one of Berlin's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 80 mm in July.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hispa atra sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Hispa atra sightings, Berlin ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Lyon (France, under 5%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Hispa atra that you can see in Berlin (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Willow Clytra (about 10%), Poplar Leaf Beetle (about 10%) and Colorado Potato Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hispa atra is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (8 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.
