Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aporodes floralis sighting in Bucharest on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 303rd most-seen of the 361 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 August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Aporodes floralis in Bucharest on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–May, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Aporodes floralis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Aporodes floralis sightings, Bucharest ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Algiers (Algeria, about 10%) and Budapest (Hungary, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aporodes floralis is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (5 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.
