Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Small Grey sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 299th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Small Grey in Paris on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Small Grey sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
13th of 18
Of the 18 cities where we can rate Small Grey sightings, Paris ranks 13th at under 5%. The best odds are in Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 20%), London (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Dublin (Ireland, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Small Grey is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (29 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.
