Condylostylus comatus (C. comatus) is a species of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. C. comatus is a species primarily found in the Eastern United States and belongs to a diverse Neotropical genus. Males can be identified by a row of hairs on the mid metatarsus and pale genital appendages, distinguishing them from similar species like Condylostylus crinitus. Females, however, are not distinguishable by appearance. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Condylostylus comatus sighting in Chicago on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 637th 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 Condylostylus comatus in Chicago on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Condylostylus comatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Condylostylus comatus sightings, Chicago ranks 5th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in New York City (United States, under 5%), Boston (United States, under 5%) and Philadelphia (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Condylostylus comatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Chicago (10 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.
