With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cymbalophora oertzeni sighting in Jerusalem on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 66th most-seen of the 137 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Cymbalophora oertzeni in Jerusalem on a given day, against under 5% in January–September and November, the lowest months. That is one of Jerusalem's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 90 mm in January.
Only Jerusalem, in our data
Jerusalem is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cymbalophora oertzeni sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Cymbalophora oertzeni that you can see in Jerusalem (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Crimson-Speckled Flunkey (about 10%) and Brown Triangle Snout (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cymbalophora oertzeni is recorded against all the insects logged in Jerusalem (9 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.
