With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Triangle Snout sighting in Athens on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 162nd most-seen of the 242 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Triangle Snout in Athens on a given day, against under 5% in February–June and August–October, the lowest months. That is one of Athens's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 85 mm in December.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown Triangle Snout sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Brown Triangle Snout sightings, Athens ranks 6th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Valencia (Spain, about 10%), Jerusalem (Israel, about 10%) and Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Triangle Snout is recorded against all the insects logged in Athens (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.
