Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Woolly Wall Bee sighting in Orlando on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 240th most-seen of the 294 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Woolly Wall Bee in Orlando on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Woolly Wall Bee sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Woolly Wall Bee sightings, Orlando ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bengaluru (India, about 10%), Mumbai (India, about 10%) and Pune (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Woolly Wall Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Orlando (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.
