Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Acrobat Ant sighting in Naples on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 10th most-seen of the 73 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Acrobat Ant in Naples on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, September and November–February, the lowest months. That is one of Naples's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 120 mm in November.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mediterranean Acrobat Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Mediterranean Acrobat Ant sightings, Naples ranks 3rd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Rome (Italy, about 20%) and Turin (Italy, about 20%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Mediterranean Acrobat Ant that you can see in Naples (family Formicidae, Ants) are Pallid Big-Headed Ant (about 10%), Camponotus lateralis (about 10%) and Hairy Carpenter Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mediterranean Acrobat Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Naples (18 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.
