Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Phytoecia coerulescens sighting in Madrid on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 302nd most-seen of the 457 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phytoecia coerulescens in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phytoecia coerulescens sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Phytoecia coerulescens sightings, Madrid ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Rome (Italy, under 5%), Warsaw (Poland, under 5%) and Vienna (Austria, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Phytoecia coerulescens that you can see in Madrid (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Certallum ebulinum (about 10%), Fairy-Ring Longhorn Beetle (about 10%) and Calamobius filum (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phytoecia coerulescens is recorded against all the insects logged in Madrid (11 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.
