With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xylotrechus smei 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.
May to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xylotrechus smei in Tel Aviv on a given day, against under 5% in October to April, the lowest months. Those are among Tel Aviv's driest months, with almost no rain against 90 mm in January.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Xylotrechus smei sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Xylotrechus smei sightings, Tel Aviv ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Athens (Greece, about 10%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Xylotrechus smei that you can see in Tel Aviv (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Certallum ebulinum (about 10%), Stenopterus rufus (about 10%) and Agapanthia suturalis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xylotrechus smei 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.
