With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ashy Button sighting in Liverpool on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 458th most-seen of the 632 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Ashy Button in Liverpool on a given day, against under 5% in December to August, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ashy Button is recorded against all the insects logged in Liverpool (10 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.
