Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Fiery Copper sighting in Jerusalem on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 137 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Fiery Copper in Jerusalem on a given day, against under 5% in November to March, the lowest months. That is one of Jerusalem's driest months, with almost no rain against 90 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lesser Fiery Copper sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Lesser Fiery Copper sightings, Jerusalem ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Ramallah (Palestine, about 40%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Lesser Fiery Copper that you can see in Jerusalem (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Common Blue (about 30%), Geranium Bronze (about 30%) and Brown Argus (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lesser Fiery Copper is recorded against all the insects logged in Jerusalem (34 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.
