It is the 24th most-seen of the 101 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Same family: Syrphidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mimocalla giganteus is recorded against all the insects logged in Bogota (52 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.
