With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a The Druid sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 50 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 332nd most-seen of the 1406 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a The Druid in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Vienna's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 40 mm in February.
Between 11 pm and 2 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most The Druid 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the The Druid is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (50 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.
