With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Adela viridella sighting in Brussels on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 213th most-seen of the 337 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.
April
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Adela viridella in Brussels on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months. That is one of Brussels's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 80 mm in August.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Adela viridella sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 16 cities where we can rate Adela viridella sightings, Brussels ranks 10th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%), London (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 10%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Adela viridella that you can see in Brussels (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Speckled Wood (about 20%), Red Admiral (about 20%) and European Peacock Butterfly (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Adela viridella is recorded against all the insects logged in Brussels (8 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.
