Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Saucer Bug sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 727th 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 Saucer Bug 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 Saucer Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Saucer Bug sightings, Moscow ranks 5th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kazan (Russia, under 5%), Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%) and London (United Kingdom, under 5%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Saucer Bug that you can see in Moscow (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are European Firebug (about 20%), Forest Bug (about 10%) and Green Shield Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Saucer Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (9 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.
