With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mintho compressa sighting in Tel Aviv on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 172nd 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mintho compressa in Tel Aviv on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and September–February, the lowest months. That is one of Tel Aviv's driest months, with almost no rain against 90 mm in January.
Only Tel Aviv, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mintho compressa is recorded against all the insects logged in Tel Aviv (8 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.
