Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a German Scorpionfly sighting in Prague on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 316th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a German Scorpionfly in Prague on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most German Scorpionfly sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
14th of 15
Of the 15 cities where we can rate German Scorpionfly sightings, Prague ranks 14th at under 5%. The best odds are in Essen (Germany, about 10%), Sofia (Bulgaria, about 10%) and Leeds (United Kingdom, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the German Scorpionfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Prague (16 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.
