Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Itoplectis maculator sighting in London on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 971st 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 December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Itoplectis maculator in London on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–November, the lowest months.
Only London, in our data
London is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Itoplectis maculator sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Ichneumonidae
The closest relatives of the Itoplectis maculator that you can see in London (family Ichneumonidae, Ichneumonid Wasps) are Toothed Tiger Ichneumon (about 10%) and Ischnus inquisitorius (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Itoplectis maculator 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.
