Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Eggar sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 9 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Eggar in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eastern Eggar sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Vienna, in our data
Vienna is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eastern Eggar sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Eggar is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (9 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.
