With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jewel Reed Beetle sighting in Dublin on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 95th most-seen of the 121 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.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Jewel Reed Beetle in Dublin on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jewel Reed Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Jewel Reed Beetle sightings, Dublin ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Brussels (Belgium, about 10%) and Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Jewel Reed Beetle that you can see in Dublin (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Rosemary Beetle (about 10%) and Bronze Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jewel Reed Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Dublin (8 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.
