With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cretan Seed Bug sighting in Athens on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 37th most-seen of the 242 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December and January
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Cretan Seed Bug in Athens on a given day, against under 5% in June and July, the lowest months. Those are among Athens's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in August.

Of the 8 cities where we can rate Cretan Seed Bug sightings, Athens ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Izmir (Turkey, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cretan Seed Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Athens (24 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.
