With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Cabbage Bug sighting in Rome on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 131st 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Cabbage Bug in Rome on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Cabbage Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
19th of 23
Of the 23 cities where we can rate Red Cabbage Bug sightings, Rome ranks 19th at about 10%. The best odds are in Jerusalem (Israel, about 20%), Barcelona (Spain, about 20%) and Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Cabbage Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Rome (12 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.
