Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cassida vittata sighting in Lisbon on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 405th most-seen of the 441 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cassida vittata in Lisbon on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cassida vittata sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Lisbon, in our data
Lisbon is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cassida vittata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Cassida vittata that you can see in Lisbon (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Bronze Beetle (about 10%), Rosemary Beetle (about 10%) and Cryptocephalus rugicollis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cassida vittata is recorded against all the insects logged in Lisbon (5 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.
