Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tailed Laphria sighting in Boston on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 465th most-seen of the 1200 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tailed Laphria in Boston on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.

Of the 6 cities where we can rate Black-Tailed Laphria sightings, Boston has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Toronto (Canada, under 5%) and Austin (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Tailed Laphria is recorded against all the insects logged in Boston (23 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.
