Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-Clouded Longhorn Beetle sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 474th 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.
March and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Clouded Longhorn Beetle in Paris on a given day, against under 5% in April and June–February, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Clouded Longhorn Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 White-Clouded Longhorn Beetle sightings, Paris ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the White-Clouded Longhorn 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 White-Clouded Longhorn Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (13 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.
