With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Timarcha nicaeensis sighting in Rome on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 100th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Timarcha nicaeensis in Rome on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–April and July–September, the lowest months. Those are among Rome's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in July.
Only Rome, in our data
Rome is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Timarcha nicaeensis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Timarcha nicaeensis that you can see in Rome (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Elm Leaf Beetle (about 20%), Bronze Beetle (about 10%) and Lachnaia italica (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Timarcha nicaeensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Rome (14 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.
