Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sprinkled Rustic 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sprinkled Rustic in Prague on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Prague's wettest months, with about 80 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in February.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sprinkled Rustic sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Prague, in our data
Prague is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sprinkled Rustic sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sprinkled Rustic 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.
