Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gaurotes virginea sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 392nd 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gaurotes virginea in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Munich's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in February.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gaurotes virginea is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (6 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.
