With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Great Blackclock sighting in Manchester on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 263rd most-seen of the 458 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.
March and June–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Great Blackclock in Manchester on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and September–February, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Great Blackclock sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 7 cities where we can rate Great Blackclock sightings, Manchester has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Helsinki (Finland, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Great Blackclock is recorded against all the insects logged in Manchester (11 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.
