With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Niphona picticornis sighting in Rome on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 187th most-seen of the 289 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Niphona picticornis in Rome on a given day, against under 5% in August to March, the lowest months.
Only Rome, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Niphona picticornis is recorded against all the insects logged in Rome (7 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.
