With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Fiery Copper sighting in Tel Aviv on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 43rd most-seen of the 264 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March to June
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Fiery Copper in Tel Aviv on a given day, against under 5% in February, August and October–November, the lowest months. Those are among Tel Aviv's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 90 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lesser Fiery Copper sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Same family: Lycaenidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lesser Fiery Copper is recorded against all the insects logged in Tel Aviv (36 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.
