Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rose Sawfly sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 413th 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.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rose Sawfly in Helsinki on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rose Sawfly sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
9th of 20
Of the 20 cities where we can rate Rose Sawfly sightings, Helsinki ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tehran (Iran, about 20%), Barcelona (Spain, about 10%) and Valencia (Spain, about 10%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Rose Sawfly that you can see in Helsinki (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Tree Bumble Bee (about 20%), Common Carder Bumble Bee (about 20%) and Red-Tailed Bumble Bee (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rose Sawfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (12 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.
