Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Platycotis vittatus 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Platycotis vittatus in Sacramento on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Platycotis vittatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Platycotis vittatus sightings, Sacramento ranks 5th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Washington (United States, under 5%), Baltimore (United States, under 5%) and Orlando (United States, under 5%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Platycotis vittatus 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 Platycotis vittatus 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.
