Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Great Blackclock sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 591st most-seen of the 753 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Great Blackclock in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Kyiv's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain against 40 mm in April.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Great Blackclock sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Great Blackclock sightings, Kyiv ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Manchester (United Kingdom, about 10%), Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Helsinki (Finland, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Great Blackclock is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (6 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.
