Anthrenus pimpinellae
In 3 days ~20% in a week ~40%
Anthrenus pimpinellae is a species group of beetle found natively in Europe, northern Africa, Asia and portions of the Oriental region; it has also been introduced to parts of North America. Former studies on Nearctic and Palearctic Anthrenus, authors distinguished three informal groups, lepidus, pimpinellae and schropuslariae holding different beetle taxa. This was made on the base of the dorsal patterns. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bird Nest Carpet Beetle sighting in Bucharest on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 133rd most-seen of the 361 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bird Nest Carpet Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (16 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.
