Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Anthaxia quadripunctata sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 527th most-seen of the 753 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Anthaxia quadripunctata in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Kyiv's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain against 40 mm in April.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Anthaxia quadripunctata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Anthaxia quadripunctata sightings, Kyiv ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anthaxia quadripunctata is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (7 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.
