Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dune Chafer sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 419th most-seen of the 1065 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dune Chafer in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.

Of the 5 cities where we can rate Dune Chafer sightings, Berlin ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Dune Chafer that you can see in Berlin (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Mediterranean Spotted Chafer (about 20%), European Rose Chafer (about 20%) and European Rhinoceros Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dune Chafer is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (18 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.
