Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a False Ladybird sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 445th 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.
February and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a False Ladybird in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in March–July and September–January, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most False Ladybird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate False Ladybird sightings, Munich ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%), Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%) and Helsinki (Finland, under 5%).
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the False Ladybird that you can see in Munich (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Asian Lady Beetle (about 30%), European Rose Chafer (about 20%) and Mediterranean Spotted Chafer (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the False Ladybird is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (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.
