With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Olepa ricini sighting in Tel Aviv on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 113th 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.
September and November

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olepa ricini is recorded against all the insects logged in Tel Aviv (13 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.
