Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a False Ladybird sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 333rd 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 a False Ladybird in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most False Ladybird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate False Ladybird sightings, Moscow ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%), Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%) and Helsinki (Finland, under 5%).
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the False Ladybird that you can see in Moscow (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Asian Lady Beetle (about 20%), Two-Spotted Lady Beetle (about 10%) and Seven-Spotted Lady Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the False Ladybird is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (30 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.
