Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ice Plant Scale sighting in Sacramento on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 350th most-seen of the 386 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ice Plant Scale in Sacramento on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Ice Plant Scale sightings, Sacramento ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Melbourne (Australia, under 5%) and Auckland (New Zealand, under 5%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Ice Plant Scale that you can see in Sacramento (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Leptoglossus zonatus (about 20%), Western Boxelder Bug (about 20%) and Leafhopper Assassin Bug (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ice Plant Scale is recorded against all the insects logged in Sacramento (6 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.
