With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ochreous Pearl sighting in Snowdonia National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 246th most-seen of the 387 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Ochreous Pearl in Snowdonia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–May, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ochreous Pearl sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Snowdonia National Park, in our data
Snowdonia National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ochreous Pearl sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Anania
The closest relatives of the Ochreous Pearl that you can see in Snowdonia National Park (genus Anania) are Small Magpie (about 10%), Long-Winged Pearl (about 10%) and Elderberry Pearl (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ochreous Pearl is recorded against all the insects logged in Snowdonia National Park (8 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
