Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Grass Bug sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 774th most-seen of the 1111 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Grass Bug in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grass Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
15th of 15
Of the 15 cities where we can rate Grass Bug sightings, Moscow ranks 15th at under 5%. The best odds are in Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%), Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 10%) and London (United Kingdom, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grass Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (8 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.
