About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Therapis flavicaria sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 324th most-seen of the 753 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July–August

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Therapis flavicaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (14 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.
