Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Central European Bicolored Ant sighting in London on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 688th most-seen of the 1504 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Central European Bicolored Ant in London on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Central European Bicolored Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
13th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Central European Bicolored Ant sightings, London ranks 13th at under 5%. The best odds are in Paris (France, about 10%), Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and New York City (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Central European Bicolored Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in London (25 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.
