Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Ectemnius sighting in Montreal on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 749th most-seen of the 926 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Ectemnius in Montreal on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Ectemnius sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Common Ectemnius sightings, Montreal ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Toronto (Canada, under 5%) and Boston (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Crabronidae
The closest relatives of the Common Ectemnius that you can see in Montreal (family Crabronidae, Square-headed Wasps, Sand Wasps, and Allies) are Four-Banded Stink Bug Wasp (about 10%) and Hump-Backed Beewolf (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Ectemnius is recorded against all the insects logged in Montreal (6 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.
