Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Clay Bumble Bee sighting in Bucharest on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 256th most-seen of the 361 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.
March to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clay Bumble Bee in Bucharest on a given day, against under 5% in August to February, the lowest months.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Clay Bumble Bee sightings, Bucharest ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Turin (Italy, about 10%), Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and Milan (Italy, about 10%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Clay Bumble Bee that you can see in Bucharest (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Small-Headed Tree Ant (about 20%), European Gate-Keeper Ant (about 20%) and Dolichoderus quadripunctatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Clay Bumble Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (7 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.
