Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sciaphilus asperatus sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 300th 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 Sciaphilus asperatus in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sciaphilus asperatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Sciaphilus asperatus sightings, Moscow ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Helsinki (Finland, about 10%), Kazan (Russia, under 5%) and Nizhny Novgorod (Russia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sciaphilus asperatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (32 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.
