Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hornet Beetle sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 743rd 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hornet Beetle in Paris on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hornet Beetle 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 3 cities where we can rate Hornet Beetle sightings, Paris ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%) and Vienna (Austria, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Hornet Beetle that you can see in Paris (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Common Grammoptera (about 10%), Spotted Longhorn Beetle (about 10%) and Tawny Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hornet Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (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.
