With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sooty Copper sighting in Milan on a given day, based on 53 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 63rd most-seen of the 351 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sooty Copper in Milan on a given day, against under 5% in November to 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.
3rd of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Sooty Copper sightings, Milan ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Budapest (Hungary, about 20%) and Warsaw (Poland, about 10%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Sooty Copper that you can see in Milan (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Small Copper (about 20%), Common Blue (about 20%) and Geranium Bronze (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 Milan (53 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.
