Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Straw-Barred Pearl sighting in Turin on a given day, based on 33 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 25th most-seen of the 197 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Straw-Barred Pearl is recorded against all the insects logged in Turin (33 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.
