Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Trachys minutus sighting in Saint Petersburg on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 193rd most-seen of the 448 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Trachys minutus in Saint Petersburg on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Saint Petersburg's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain against 40 mm in February.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Trachys minutus 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 9 cities where we can rate Trachys minutus sightings, Saint Petersburg ranks 7th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Munich (Germany, under 5%), Minsk (Belarus, under 5%) and Helsinki (Finland, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Trachys minutus is recorded against all the insects logged in Saint Petersburg (12 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.
