It is the most-seen of the 361 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Transcaucasian Giant Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (341 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.
