Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Transcaucasian Giant Mantis sighting in Athens on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 15th most-seen of the 242 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Transcaucasian Giant Mantis in Athens on a given day, against under 5% in February–March and November, the lowest months. That is one of Athens's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 85 mm in December.
9th of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Transcaucasian Giant Mantis sightings, Athens ranks 9th at about 20%. The best odds are in Bucharest (Romania, about 40%), Turin (Italy, about 30%) and Istanbul (Turkey, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Transcaucasian Giant Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Athens (47 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.
