With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cruciferous Bug sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 69 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 135th most-seen of the 916 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cruciferous Bug in Paris on a given day, against under 5% in December to March, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cruciferous Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (69 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.
