Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a French Stick Insect sighting in Lisbon on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 299th 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a French Stick Insect in Lisbon on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Lisbon's driest months, with almost no rain against 95 mm in November.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most French Stick Insect sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 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 French Stick Insect sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the French Stick Insect is recorded against all the insects logged in Lisbon (8 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.
