Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Metacantharis discoidea sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 392nd 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Metacantharis discoidea in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Munich's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in February.
Only Munich, in our data
Munich is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Metacantharis discoidea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cantharidae
The closest relatives of the Metacantharis discoidea that you can see in Munich (family Cantharidae, Soldier Beetles) are Dark Sailor Beetle (about 10%), Rustic Sailor Beetle (about 10%) and Cantharis livida (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Metacantharis discoidea is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (6 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.
