Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plum Beetle sighting in London on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 738th 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Plum Beetle in London on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Plum Beetle sightings, London has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Vienna (Austria, under 5%) and Toronto (Canada, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Plum Beetle that you can see in London (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Spotted Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), Common Grammoptera (about 10%) and Fairy-Ring Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plum Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in London (24 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.
