In 3 days ~20% in a week ~40%
Neolygus viridis is a true bug. The species is found in the Palearctic, from Europe (with the exception of the southern parts of the Mediterranean) to Siberia and the Russian Far East, and it is common and widespread in Central Europe. It occurs in semi-shady to open places with high humidity, such as around the edges of woods or meadows, but also on isolated trees.
Neolygus viridis lives on deciduous trees; (Tilia, Alnus, Rhamnus, Salix, Betula, Acer and Corylus). Occasionally they are largely predatory. Overwinters occurs as the egg and there is one generation per year. The adult bugs occur from June, they die no later than September. Wikipedia →

It is the 223rd most-seen of the 838 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Neolygus viridis is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (27 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.
