Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plain Reed Beetle sighting in London on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1059th 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Plain Reed Beetle in London on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Only London, in our data
London is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Plain Reed Beetle sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plain Reed Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in London (17 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.
