Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mintho rufiventris sighting in London on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 660th 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mintho rufiventris in London on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mintho rufiventris sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Mintho rufiventris sightings, London ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Copenhagen (Denmark, about 10%), Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and Berlin (Germany, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mintho rufiventris 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.
