Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mottled Sedge sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 450th most-seen of the 916 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.
May and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mottled Sedge in Paris on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and November–April, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mottled Sedge sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
9th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Mottled Sedge sightings, Paris ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%), London (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Leeds (United Kingdom, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mottled Sedge is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (16 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.
