Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bright-Spotted Groundbug sighting in Istanbul on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 234th most-seen of the 266 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.
March–May, July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bright-Spotted Groundbug in Istanbul on a given day, against under 5% in June, August and October–February, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bright-Spotted Groundbug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
23rd of 24
Of the 24 cities where we can rate Bright-Spotted Groundbug sightings, Istanbul ranks 23rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tashkent (Uzbekistan, about 10%), Warsaw (Poland, about 10%) and Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bright-Spotted Groundbug is recorded against all the insects logged in Istanbul (6 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.
