Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Kent Bent-Wing sighting in London on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 842nd 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.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Kent Bent-Wing in London on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months.
Only London, in our data
London is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Kent Bent-Wing sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kent Bent-Wing is recorded against all the insects logged in London (18 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.
