Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Porter's Rustic sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 338th 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.
May–June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Porter's Rustic in Paris on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–April, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Porter's Rustic is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (24 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.
