Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Platynus assimilis sighting in London on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1394th 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.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Platynus assimilis in London on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Platynus assimilis sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
7th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Platynus assimilis sightings, London ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nizhny Novgorod (Russia, about 10%), Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%) and Munich (Germany, under 5%).
Same family: Carabidae
The closest relatives of the Platynus assimilis that you can see in London (family Carabidae, Ground Beetles) are Black Clock (about 10%) and Paradromius linearis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Platynus assimilis is recorded against all the insects logged in London (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.
