Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Human Louse sighting in Copenhagen on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 376th most-seen of the 476 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Human Louse in Copenhagen on a given day, against under 5% in March–April and June–January, the lowest months.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Human Louse sightings, Copenhagen ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kozhikode (India, about 10%), Kochi (India, about 10%) and Paris (France, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Human Louse is recorded against all the insects logged in Copenhagen (6 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.
