Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lixus iridis sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 827th most-seen of the 916 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lixus iridis in Paris on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lixus iridis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
9th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Lixus iridis sightings, Paris ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%), Rome (Italy, about 10%) and Bucharest (Romania, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lixus iridis is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (5 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.
