Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Flat Clown Beetle sighting in London on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 931st 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.
March and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Flat Clown Beetle in London on a given day, against under 5% in April–October and December–February, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Flat Clown Beetle sightings, London ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Berlin (Germany, under 5%).
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the Flat Clown Beetle that you can see in London (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Asian Lady Beetle (about 50%), Seven-Spotted Lady Beetle (about 50%) and Thick-Legged Flower Beetle (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Flat Clown Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in London (15 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.
