Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly sighting in Boston on a given day, based on 22 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly in Boston on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, 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.
20th of 30
Of the 30 cities where we can rate Root Maggot Fly sightings, Boston ranks 20th at under 5%. 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 Boston (22 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.
