With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nithecus jacobaeae sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 45 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 148th most-seen of the 838 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nithecus jacobaeae in Helsinki on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nithecus jacobaeae sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Helsinki, in our data
Helsinki is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Nithecus jacobaeae sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nithecus jacobaeae is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (45 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.
