With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Splay-Footed Carpenter sighting in Budapest on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 261st most-seen of the 404 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.
April–May and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Splay-Footed Carpenter in Budapest on a given day, against under 5% in June and August–March, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Splay-Footed Carpenter sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Splay-Footed Carpenter sightings, Budapest ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%) and Almaty (Kazakhstan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Splay-Footed Carpenter is recorded against all the insects logged in Budapest (7 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.
