With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stathmopoda auriferella 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.
July–August and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Stathmopoda auriferella in Tel Aviv on a given day, against under 5% in June and December–March, the lowest months. Those are among Tel Aviv's driest months, with about 5 mm of rain a month against 90 mm in January.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stathmopoda auriferella 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.
