Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leather Beetle sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 272nd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, July and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Leather Beetle in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in March–June, August and November–January, the lowest months.

14th of 18
Of the 18 cities where we can rate Leather Beetle sightings, Munich ranks 14th at under 5%. The best odds are in Izmir (Turkey, about 20%), Istanbul (Turkey, about 20%) and Bucharest (Romania, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leather Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (9 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.
