With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jewel Reed Beetle sighting in Brussels on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 181st most-seen of the 337 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jewel Reed Beetle in Brussels on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jewel Reed Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jewel Reed Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Brussels (11 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.
