Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plumed Prominent sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 399th 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.
November and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Plumed Prominent in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in January to October, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Plumed Prominent sightings, Vienna has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Moscow (Russia, under 5%) and Prague (Czechia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plumed Prominent is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (43 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.
