With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Splay-Footed Carpenter sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 72 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 96th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Splay-Footed Carpenter in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in August and November–February, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Splay-Footed Carpenter sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Splay-Footed Carpenter is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (72 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.
