Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plumed Prominent sighting in Prague on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 543rd 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.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Plumed Prominent in Prague on a given day, against under 5% in January to September, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Plumed Prominent sightings, Prague ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Vienna (Austria, under 5%) and Moscow (Russia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plumed Prominent is recorded against all the insects logged in Prague (7 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.
