With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Swamp Crane Fly sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 201st most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, June–October and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Swamp Crane Fly in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May and November, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Swamp Crane Fly sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Auckland, in our data

Same family: Tipulidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Swamp Crane Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (32 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.
