Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tipula lunata sighting in London on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1219th 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 Tipula lunata in London on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tipula lunata sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Tipula lunata sightings, London ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Paris (France, under 5%) and Vienna (Austria, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tipula lunata is recorded against all the insects logged in London (7 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.
