Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Small-Headed Tree Ant sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1178th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Small-Headed Tree Ant in Vienna on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Small-Headed Tree Ant sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Small-Headed Tree Ant sightings, Vienna ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bucharest (Romania, about 20%), Budapest (Hungary, about 20%) and Belgrade (Serbia, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Small-Headed Tree 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 Small-Headed Tree Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (6 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.
