In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Megalocoleus molliculus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae. It is found in Europe and east through the Palearctic to Siberia (excluding China). It also occurs in North America. M. molliculus lives mainly on yarrow Achillea millefolium, more rarely also on tansy Tanacetum vulgare and other Compositae (Asteraceae) such as chamomile Matricaria, Artemisia and dog chamomile Anthemis. The adult bugs occur from late June to mid-September. The females pierce their eggs in the upper parts of the stems of their host plants. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Megalocoleus molliculus sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 480th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Megalocoleus molliculus in Helsinki on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months.
Only Helsinki, in our data
Helsinki is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Megalocoleus molliculus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Megalocoleus molliculus is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (10 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.
