Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Trachypteris picta sighting in Bucharest on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 303rd 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Trachypteris picta in Bucharest on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Bucharest's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against 35 mm in February.
Only Bucharest, in our data
Bucharest is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Trachypteris picta sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Buprestidae
The closest relatives of the Trachypteris picta that you can see in Bucharest (family Buprestidae, Jewel Beetles) are Anthaxia nitidula (about 10%), Lamprodila rutilans (about 10%) and Anthaxia bicolor (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Trachypteris picta is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (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.
