Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Eupeodes confrater sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 981st most-seen of the 1083 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eupeodes confrater in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Brisbane's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 160 mm in February.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Eupeodes confrater sightings, Brisbane ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, under 5%) and Melbourne (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Eupeodes confrater that you can see in Brisbane (family Syrphidae, Hover Flies) are Black-Banded Hover Fly (about 10%), Yellow-Shouldered Stout Hover Fly (about 10%) and Native Drone Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eupeodes confrater is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (5 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.
