Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Eurasian Winter Ant sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 51 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 373rd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, March–April and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eurasian Winter Ant in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–September and December, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eurasian Winter Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 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 Eurasian Winter Ant sightings, Vienna ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Budapest (Hungary, about 10%), Istanbul (Turkey, about 10%) and Bucharest (Romania, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Eurasian Winter Ant that you can see in Vienna (family Formicidae, Ants) are Central European Bicolored Ant (about 10%), Dolichoderus quadripunctatus (about 10%) and Hairy Carpenter Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eurasian Winter Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (51 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.
