With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phania funesta sighting in London on a given day, based on 72 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 368th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phania funesta in London on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phania funesta sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Phania funesta sightings, London has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Warsaw (Poland, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phania funesta is recorded against all the insects logged in London (72 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.
