Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Broken-Backed Bug sighting in New York City on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 841st most-seen of the 1623 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Broken-Backed Bug in New York City on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Broken-Backed Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
25th of 26
Of the 26 cities where we can rate Broken-Backed Bug sightings, New York City ranks 25th at under 5%. The best odds are in Algiers (Algeria, about 10%), Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%) and Puebla (México, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Broken-Backed Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in New York City (20 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.
