Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Florentine Woolcarder Bee sighting in Lyon on a given day, based on 65 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 26th most-seen of the 411 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.
July
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Florentine Woolcarder Bee in Lyon on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Florentine Woolcarder Bee sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 22 cities where we can rate Florentine Woolcarder Bee sightings, Lyon ranks 5th at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Athens (Greece, about 20%), Turin (Italy, about 20%) and Ankara (Turkey, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Florentine Woolcarder Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Lyon (65 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.
