Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Spotted Scaphidium sighting in Prague on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 377th 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.

4th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Orange-Spotted Scaphidium sightings, Prague ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Sofia (Bulgaria, about 10%), Warsaw (Poland, under 5%) and Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-Spotted Scaphidium is recorded against all the insects logged in Prague (12 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.
