With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pine-Borer sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 349th most-seen of the 753 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pine-Borer in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–March, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pine-Borer is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (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.
