With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 128th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–April, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Root Maggot Fly sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 30 cities where we can rate Root Maggot Fly sightings, Beijing ranks 7th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Athens (Greece, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Root Maggot Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (21 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.
