Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chelidurella acanthopygia sighting in Prague on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 436th most-seen of the 724 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.
September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chelidurella acanthopygia in Prague on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–August, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chelidurella acanthopygia sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 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 Chelidurella acanthopygia sightings, Prague ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Stockholm (Sweden, about 10%), Warsaw (Poland, under 5%) and Berlin (Germany, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chelidurella acanthopygia is recorded against all the insects logged in Prague (10 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.
