With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sooty Copper sighting in Lyon on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 247th most-seen of the 411 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 and June–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sooty Copper in Lyon on a given day, against under 5% in May and October–March, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sooty Copper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Sooty Copper sightings, Lyon ranks 8th at about 10%. The best odds are in Budapest (Hungary, about 20%), Warsaw (Poland, about 10%) and Milan (Italy, about 10%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Sooty Copper that you can see in Lyon (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Common Blue (about 20%), Geranium Bronze (about 20%) and Small Copper (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sooty Copper is recorded against all the insects logged in Lyon (10 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.
