Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pararctophila oberthuri sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 288th most-seen of the 401 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pararctophila oberthuri in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months. That is one of Beijing's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 150 mm in July.
Only Beijing, in our data
Beijing is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pararctophila oberthuri sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Pararctophila oberthuri that you can see in Beijing (family Syrphidae, Hover Flies) are Common Drone Fly (about 10%), Phytomia zonata (about 10%) and Marmalade Hover Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pararctophila oberthuri is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (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.
