Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Crescent Bell sighting in London on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 873rd 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Crescent Bell in London on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Crescent Bell sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Crescent Bell sightings, London ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Birmingham (United Kingdom, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crescent Bell is recorded against all the insects logged in London (17 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.
