About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Acrobat Ant sighting in Lyon on a given day, based on 93 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 14th most-seen of the 411 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Acrobat Ant in Lyon on a given day, against under 5% in December and January, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mediterranean Acrobat Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Lyon (93 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.
