With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Anoxia orientalis sighting in Tel Aviv on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 210th most-seen of the 264 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.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Anoxia orientalis in Tel Aviv on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. That is one of Tel Aviv's driest months, with almost no rain against 90 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Anoxia orientalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Anoxia orientalis sightings, Tel Aviv ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and Belgrade (Serbia, about 10%).
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Anoxia orientalis that you can see in Tel Aviv (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Oxythyrea noemi (about 40%), Copper Chafer (about 20%) and Tropinota vittula (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anoxia orientalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Tel Aviv (6 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.
