Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a European Gate-Keeper Ant sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 324th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a European Gate-Keeper Ant in Paris on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and November–March, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most European Gate-Keeper Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
6th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate European Gate-Keeper Ant sightings, Paris ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bucharest (Romania, about 20%), Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and Istanbul (Turkey, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the European Gate-Keeper Ant that you can see in Paris (family Formicidae, Ants) are Central European Bicolored Ant (about 10%), Dolichoderus quadripunctatus (about 10%) and Brown Tree Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the European Gate-Keeper Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (22 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.
