With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hypericum Rhopalid sighting in Brussels on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 75th most-seen of the 337 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Hypericum Rhopalid in Brussels on a given day, against under 5% in September and December–February, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hypericum Rhopalid sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Hypericum Rhopalid sightings, Brussels ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%).
Same family: Rhopalidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hypericum Rhopalid is recorded against all the insects logged in Brussels (32 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.
