Nagusta goedelii
In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Nagusta goedelii is a species of assassin bugs in the family Reduviidae. This species is present in Central and Southern Europe (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, European Turkey, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Republic of Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine and former Yugoslavia), and in the Middle East. In the East it reaches Iran. These insects apparently are extending their distribution from east towards more western and northern areas.
Nagusta goedelii can reach a body length of about 12.5–16.3 mm (0.49–0.64 in). The slender and slightly hairy body is yellow to cinnamon-brown, but some darker specimens can be brown or reddish with greenish veins. The head is more than twice as long as the width and it has protruding ocelli. It shows two characteristic horn-like thorns just behind the antennae. Antennae show the same color as the body, with lighter rings. The posterior lobe of the head ends in a cylindrical neck. The pronotum is almost hexagonal and carries two broad and rounded apophyses in the shape of an obtuse cone. The diameter of the anterior femurs is at least three times the diameter... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Nagusta goedelii sighting in Turin on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 34th most-seen of the 197 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Nagusta goedelii in Turin on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and September, the lowest months. That is one of Turin's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain against 35 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nagusta goedelii sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Nagusta goedelii sightings, Turin has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Lyon (France, about 20%) and Sofia (Bulgaria, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nagusta goedelii is recorded against all the insects logged in Turin (22 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.
