Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Redcurrant Blister Aphid sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 9 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Redcurrant Blister Aphid in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Redcurrant Blister Aphid sightings, Berlin has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Vienna (Austria, under 5%) and London (United Kingdom, under 5%).
Same family: Aphididae
The closest relatives of the Redcurrant Blister Aphid that you can see in Berlin (family Aphididae, Aphids) are Lime Leaf Aphid (about 10%) and Poplar Spiral Gall Aphid (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Redcurrant Blister Aphid is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (9 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.
