Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Vetch 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Vetch Aphid in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.
Only Berlin, in our data
Berlin is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Vetch Aphid sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Aphididae
The closest relatives of the Vetch 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 Vetch 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.
