Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Large Tiphia sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 473rd 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.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Tiphia in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Tiphia sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Large Tiphia sightings, Berlin ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Large Tiphia that you can see in Berlin (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Common Carder Bumble Bee (about 30%), European Hornet (about 20%) and German Yellowjacket (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Tiphia is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (15 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.
