Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red Cabbage Bug sighting in Jerusalem on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 19th 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
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Red Cabbage Bug in Jerusalem on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–January, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Cabbage Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 23 cities where we can rate Red Cabbage Bug sightings, Jerusalem has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Barcelona (Spain, about 20%) and Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
Same family: Pentatomidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Cabbage Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Jerusalem (20 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.
