Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Marbled White sighting in Jerusalem on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 52nd 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.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Marbled White in Jerusalem on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months. That is one of Jerusalem's driest months, with about 5 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 Mediterranean Marbled White sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Mediterranean Marbled White that you can see in Jerusalem (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Painted Lady (about 30%), Large Wall Brown (about 30%) and Persian Meadow Brown (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mediterranean Marbled White 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.
