Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lime Pigmy sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 949th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lime Pigmy in Berlin on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Lime Pigmy sightings, Berlin ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and London (United Kingdom, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lime Pigmy 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.
