With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Protaetia affinis sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 70 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 58th most-seen of the 753 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Protaetia affinis in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in July, October and December–March, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Protaetia affinis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Protaetia affinis sightings, Kyiv has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%) and Bucharest (Romania, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Protaetia affinis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (70 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.
