Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Doubleday's Notocelia Moth sighting in London on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 616th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Doubleday's Notocelia Moth in London on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Doubleday's Notocelia Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in London (39 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.
