With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phania funesta sighting in Birmingham on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 417th most-seen of the 811 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.
May and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phania funesta in Birmingham on a given day, against under 5% in June and August–April, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phania funesta sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phania funesta is recorded against all the insects logged in Birmingham (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.
