Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sieve-Winged Snailkiller sighting in London on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1300th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sieve-Winged Snailkiller in London on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sieve-Winged Snailkiller sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Sieve-Winged Snailkiller sightings, London ranks 6th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Helsinki (Finland, under 5%), Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%) and Berlin (Germany, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sieve-Winged Snailkiller is recorded against all the insects logged in London (6 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.
