Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Birch Sawfly sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 61 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 168th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Birch Sawfly in Moscow on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Birch Sawfly sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Birch Sawfly sightings, Moscow ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Helsinki (Finland, about 10%), Novosibirsk (Russia, about 10%) and Nizhny Novgorod (Russia, under 5%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Birch Sawfly that you can see in Moscow (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Common Carder Bumble Bee (about 10%), Tree Bumble Bee (about 10%) and Red-Tailed Bumble Bee (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Birch Sawfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (61 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.
