Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Phytoecia coerulescens sighting in Rome on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 247th most-seen of the 289 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phytoecia coerulescens in Rome on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phytoecia coerulescens sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Phytoecia coerulescens sightings, Rome has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Warsaw (Poland, under 5%) and Vienna (Austria, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Phytoecia coerulescens that you can see in Rome (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Herophila tristis (about 10%), Cerambyx welensii (about 10%) and Stenopterus ater (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phytoecia coerulescens is recorded against all the insects logged in Rome (5 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.
