Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bee-Mimic Beetle sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1296th most-seen of the 1689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bee-Mimic Beetle in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bee-Mimic Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Bee-Mimic Beetle sightings, Toronto ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Edmonton (Canada, about 10%) and Montreal (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bee-Mimic Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (7 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.
