Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Small Quaker sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 992nd 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 Small Quaker in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Small Quaker sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
12th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Small Quaker sightings, Moscow ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 10%), London (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Prague (Czechia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Small Quaker is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (5 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.
