Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Jewel Reed Beetle sighting in Copenhagen on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 340th 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jewel Reed Beetle in Copenhagen on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jewel Reed Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Jewel Reed Beetle sightings, Copenhagen ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Brussels (Belgium, about 10%), Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%) and Dublin (Ireland, about 10%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Jewel Reed Beetle that you can see in Copenhagen (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Lily Leaf Beetle (about 10%) and Alder Leaf Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jewel Reed Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Copenhagen (9 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.
