With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chelidurella acanthopygia sighting in Stockholm on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 123rd most-seen of the 202 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.
April and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chelidurella acanthopygia in Stockholm on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and October–March, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chelidurella acanthopygia sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chelidurella acanthopygia is recorded against all the insects logged in Stockholm (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.
