Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Mud Bee sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 334th most-seen of the 521 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Mud Bee in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Munich's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against 60 mm in February.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Banded Mud Bee sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Banded Mud Bee sightings, Munich ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%), Barcelona (Spain, under 5%) and Berlin (Germany, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Mud Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (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.
