Nagusta goedelii
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Nagusta goedelii is a species of assassin bugs in the family Reduviidae. This species is present in Central and Southern Europe (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, European Turkey, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Republic of Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine and former Yugoslavia), and in the Middle East. In the East it reaches Iran. These insects apparently are extending their distribution from east towards more western and northern areas.
Nagusta goedelii can reach a body length of about 12.5–16.3 mm (0.49–0.64 in). The slender and slightly hairy body is yellow to cinnamon-brown, but some darker specimens can be brown or reddish with greenish veins. The head is more than twice as long as the width and it has protruding ocelli. It shows two characteristic horn-like thorns just behind the antennae. Antennae show the same color as the body, with lighter rings. The posterior lobe of the head ends in a cylindrical neck. The pronotum is almost hexagonal and carries two broad and rounded apophyses in the shape of an obtuse cone. The diameter of the anterior femurs is at least three times the diameter... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nagusta goedelii sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 324th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February, July–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nagusta goedelii in Paris on a given day, against under 5% in March–June, October and December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nagusta goedelii sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Nagusta goedelii sightings, Paris ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Turin (Italy, about 20%), Lyon (France, about 20%) and Sofia (Bulgaria, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nagusta goedelii is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (22 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.
