With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Oak Button sighting in Liverpool on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 375th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Oak Button in Liverpool on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Oak Button is recorded against all the insects logged in Liverpool (14 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.
