Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-Lipped Blood Bee sighting in Prague on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 406th 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.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Lipped Blood Bee in Prague on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Prague's wettest months, with about 80 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Lipped Blood Bee sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate White-Lipped Blood Bee sightings, Prague ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%), Munich (Germany, about 10%) and Cologne (Germany, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Lipped Blood Bee 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.
