Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Glowworm sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 9 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 and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Glowworm in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Munich's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in February.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lesser Glowworm sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Lesser Glowworm sightings, Munich ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Essen (Germany, about 10%), Prague (Czechia, under 5%) and Vienna (Austria, under 5%).
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the Lesser Glowworm 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 Lesser Glowworm is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (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.
