Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Mud Bee sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 955th most-seen of the 1406 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Mud Bee in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Vienna's wettest months, with about 90 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 Banded Mud Bee sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Banded Mud Bee sightings, Vienna ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%), Barcelona (Spain, under 5%) and Berlin (Germany, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Mud Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (15 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.
