Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Small-Headed Tree Ant sighting in Bucharest on a given day, based on 75 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 361 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Small-Headed Tree Ant in Bucharest on a given day, against under 5% in February and December, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Small-Headed Tree Ant sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Small-Headed Tree Ant sightings, Bucharest has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Budapest (Hungary, about 20%) and Belgrade (Serbia, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Small-Headed Tree Ant that you can see in Bucharest (family Formicidae, Ants) are European Gate-Keeper 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 Small-Headed Tree Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (75 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.
