Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Anthaxia quadripunctata sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 509th most-seen of the 838 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Anthaxia quadripunctata in Helsinki on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Anthaxia quadripunctata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Anthaxia quadripunctata sightings, Helsinki ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, under 5%) and Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anthaxia quadripunctata is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (11 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.
