With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rose Sawfly sighting in Istanbul on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 141st most-seen of the 266 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.
April–August and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rose Sawfly in Istanbul on a given day, against under 5% in September and December–March, 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.
4th of 20
Of the 20 cities where we can rate Rose Sawfly sightings, Istanbul ranks 4th at about 10%. 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 Istanbul (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Oriental Hornet (about 20%), Schmidt's Cocktail Ant (about 20%) and German Yellowjacket (about 10%), 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 Istanbul (10 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.
