Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a European Gate-Keeper Ant sighting in Bucharest on a given day, based on 74 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 361 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a European Gate-Keeper Ant in Bucharest on a given day, against under 5% in November to January, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most European Gate-Keeper Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 6 cities where we can rate European Gate-Keeper Ant sightings, Bucharest has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and Istanbul (Turkey, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the European Gate-Keeper Ant that you can see in Bucharest (family Formicidae, Ants) are Small-Headed Tree Ant (about 20%), Dolichoderus quadripunctatus (about 10%) and Eurasian Winter Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the European Gate-Keeper Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (74 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.
