Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tufted Clusterfly sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 527th most-seen of the 689 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tufted Clusterfly in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tufted Clusterfly sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Tufted Clusterfly that you can see in Auckland (order Diptera, Flies) are Common Drone Fly (about 20%), Garden Soldier Fly (about 20%) and Austrosciapus proximus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tufted Clusterfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (7 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.
