Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Clay Triple-Lines sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 795th 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clay Triple-Lines in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Vienna's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain against 40 mm in February.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Clay Triple-Lines sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Clay Triple-Lines sightings, Vienna ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Porto (Portugal, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Clay Triple-Lines is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (13 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.
