Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Boat Bug sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 686th most-seen of the 916 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Boat Bug in Paris on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Boat 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.
4th of 4

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Boat Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (7 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.
