Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lime Seed Bug sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 364 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 10th most-seen of the 1065 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.
September to February
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Lime Seed Bug in Berlin on a given day, against about 10% in May, the lowest month.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lime Seed Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 24 cities where we can rate Lime Seed Bug sightings, Berlin ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sofia (Bulgaria, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lime Seed Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (364 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.
