With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Camptopus lateralis sighting in Jerusalem on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 112th most-seen of the 137 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March, June and September

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Camptopus lateralis is recorded against all the insects logged in Jerusalem (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.
