Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a The Feline sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 694th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a The Feline in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most The Feline sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the The Feline is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (9 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.
