With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 175th most-seen of the 477 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.
March–April, June–August and November–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in February, May and September–October, the lowest months.
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, Bengaluru ranks 5th 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%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Root Maggot Fly that you can see in Bengaluru (order Diptera, Flies) are Black Soldier Fly (about 20%), Antlered Crane Fly (about 10%) and Bathroom Moth Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Root Maggot Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (24 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.
