Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Platycerus caprea sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 445th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Platycerus caprea in Helsinki on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Only Helsinki, in our data
Helsinki is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Platycerus caprea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Platycerus caprea 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.
