Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Great Brocade sighting in Novosibirsk on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 172nd most-seen of the 216 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Great Brocade in Novosibirsk on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Great Brocade is recorded against all the insects logged in Novosibirsk (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.
