With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Latipalpis plana sighting in Rome on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 168th most-seen of the 289 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Latipalpis plana in Rome on a given day, against under 5% in August to March, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Latipalpis plana sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Rome, in our data
Rome is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Latipalpis plana sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Buprestidae
The closest relatives of the Latipalpis plana that you can see in Rome (family Buprestidae, Jewel Beetles) are Flat-Headed Root-Borer (about 10%) and Capnodis tenebricosa (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Latipalpis plana is recorded against all the insects logged in Rome (8 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.
