Insects around Hamburg
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Hamburg (50° to 55° latitude, 5° to 10° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all insects records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).
