Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chymomyza amoena sighting in Chicago on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 602nd most-seen of the 978 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 Chymomyza amoena in Chicago 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 Chymomyza amoena 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 16 cities where we can rate Chymomyza amoena sightings, Chicago ranks 12th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Dallas (United States, under 5%), Baltimore (United States, under 5%) and Hamburg (Germany, under 5%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Chymomyza amoena that you can see in Chicago (order Diptera, Flies) are Margined Calligrapher (about 10%), Narrow-Headed Marsh Fly (about 10%) and Common Picture-Winged Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chymomyza amoena is recorded against all the insects logged in Chicago (11 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.
