In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Agrilus viridis (beech splendour beetle) is a wood-boring beetle. It belongs to the jewel beetle family, Buprestidae. Widely found in Europe, its larvae eat the wood of living trees — the favourite host plants are goat willow (Salix caprea), beech (Fagus) and birch (Betula), but they will inhabit a number of deciduous tree species. Occasionally the beetle may become a pest in horticulture or forestry. Wikipedia →

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Flatheaded Wood Borer sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 445th most-seen of the 521 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Flatheaded Wood Borer is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (7 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.
