With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oleander Seedbug sighting in Tel Aviv on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 99th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oleander Seedbug in Tel Aviv on a given day, against under 5% in April–August and October, the lowest months. Those are among Tel Aviv's wettest months, with about 65 mm of rain a month against almost none in August.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Oleander Seedbug sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Oleander Seedbug is recorded against all the insects logged in Tel Aviv (15 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.
