Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Anthrenus polonicus sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 677th most-seen of the 1111 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 an Anthrenus polonicus in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Anthrenus polonicus sightings, Moscow ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anthrenus polonicus is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (12 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.
