Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Kite-Tailed Robberfly sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 841st 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 Kite-Tailed Robberfly in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Kite-Tailed Robberfly sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
9th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Kite-Tailed Robberfly sightings, Moscow ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Cologne (Germany, about 10%), Hamburg (Germany, under 5%) and Essen (Germany, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kite-Tailed Robberfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (7 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.
