Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pachnoda savignyi sighting in Cairo on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 11th most-seen of the 38 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Pachnoda savignyi in Cairo on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months.
Only Cairo, in our data
Cairo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pachnoda savignyi sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Coleoptera

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pachnoda savignyi is recorded against all the insects logged in Cairo (12 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.
