Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rosemary Beetle sighting in London on a given day, based on 379 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 81st most-seen of the 1504 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Rosemary Beetle in London on a given day, against about 10% in July–August and November–April, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rosemary Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 25 cities where we can rate Rosemary Beetle sightings, London ranks 3rd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 20%) and Manchester (United Kingdom, about 20%).
Same genus: Chrysolina
The closest relatives of the Rosemary Beetle that you can see in London (genus Chrysolina) are Cow Parsley Leaf Beetle (about 10%) and Bronze Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rosemary Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in London (379 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.
