Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Middle-Barred Minor sighting in London on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 738th 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 Middle-Barred Minor in London on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Middle-Barred Minor sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Middle-Barred Minor sightings, London ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 10%), Manchester (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Middle-Barred Minor is recorded against all the insects logged in London (26 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.
