Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Blackberry Leaf Midge sighting in London on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 776th most-seen of the 1504 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.
September to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Blackberry Leaf Midge in London on a given day, against under 5% in December to August, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Blackberry Leaf Midge sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only London, in our data
London is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Blackberry Leaf Midge sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blackberry Leaf Midge is recorded against all the insects logged in London (21 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.
