In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Empicoris culiciformis is a species of predatory true bugs with a Holarctic distribution. The species is found in Europe, across the Palearctic to the Russian Far East and temperate China and the range includes North Africa, and North America. Empicoris are delicate-looking insects with raptorial forelegs. They feed on barklice. Empicoris are not so often observed because of their hidden way of life. They live in hollow and mouldering trees, barns, chicken coops and cracks in old walls. Wikipedia →

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Empicoris culiciformis sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 732nd most-seen of the 838 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Empicoris culiciformis is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (5 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.
