Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cyprus Processionary Moth sighting in Jerusalem on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 45th most-seen of the 137 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Cyprus Processionary Moth in Jerusalem on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–August and November–December, the lowest months.
Only Jerusalem, in our data
Jerusalem is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cyprus Processionary Moth sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Cyprus Processionary Moth that you can see in Jerusalem (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Common Blue (about 30%), Geranium Bronze (about 30%) and Bath White (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cyprus Processionary Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Jerusalem (13 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.
