Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Schmidt's Cocktail Ant sighting in Istanbul on a given day, based on 91 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 17th most-seen of the 266 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and October
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Schmidt's Cocktail Ant in Istanbul on a given day, against under 5% in January, the lowest month.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Schmidt's Cocktail Ant sightings, Istanbul has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Belgrade (Serbia, about 10%) and Athens (Greece, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Schmidt's Cocktail Ant that you can see in Istanbul (family Formicidae, Ants) are Eurasian Winter Ant (about 10%), Camponotus lateralis (about 10%) and Dolichoderus quadripunctatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Schmidt's Cocktail Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Istanbul (91 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.
