Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a False Ladybird sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 838th 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 False Ladybird 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 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most False Ladybird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate False Ladybird sightings, Vienna ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%), Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%) and Helsinki (Finland, under 5%).
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the False Ladybird that you can see in Vienna (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Asian Lady Beetle (about 40%), Seven-Spotted Lady Beetle (about 30%) and Mediterranean Spotted Chafer (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the False Ladybird is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (11 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.
