Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellowish Cuckoo Bumble Bee sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 244th most-seen of the 482 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 a Yellowish Cuckoo Bumble Bee in Vancouver on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellowish Cuckoo Bumble Bee sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Vancouver, in our data
Vancouver is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Yellowish Cuckoo Bumble Bee sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Bombus
The closest relatives of the Yellowish Cuckoo Bumble Bee that you can see in Vancouver (genus Bombus, Bumble Bees) are Common Eastern Bumble Bee (about 30%), Yellow-Faced Bumble Bee (about 30%) and Fuzzy-Horned Bumble Bee (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellowish Cuckoo Bumble Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Vancouver (18 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.
