Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Acrobat Ant sighting in Brussels on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 295th most-seen of the 337 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.
September to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Acrobat Ant in Brussels on a given day, against under 5% in December to August, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mediterranean Acrobat Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
11th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Mediterranean Acrobat Ant sightings, Brussels ranks 11th at under 5%. The best odds are in Rome (Italy, about 20%), Turin (Italy, about 20%) and Naples (Italy, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mediterranean Acrobat Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Brussels (5 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.
