Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lixus iridis sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 49 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 211th 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lixus iridis in Moscow on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lixus iridis 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 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Lixus iridis sightings, Moscow ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%), Rome (Italy, about 10%) and Bucharest (Romania, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lixus iridis is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (49 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.
