With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Iteomyia major sighting in Liverpool on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 480th most-seen of the 632 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.
June to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Iteomyia major in Liverpool on a given day, against under 5% in November to May, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Iteomyia major 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.
