Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Liriomyza eupatorii sighting in Boston on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 967th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Liriomyza eupatorii in Boston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Liriomyza eupatorii sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Liriomyza eupatorii sightings, Boston ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in New York City (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Liriomyza eupatorii is recorded against all the insects logged in Boston (6 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.
