With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mottled Sedge sighting in London on a given day, based on 55 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 447th most-seen of the 1504 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mottled Sedge in London on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–March, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mottled Sedge sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Mottled Sedge sightings, London ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mottled Sedge is recorded against all the insects logged in London (55 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.
