Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Imatisma bautias sighting in Chicago on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 486th 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 an Imatisma bautias in Chicago on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Imatisma bautias 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 9 cities where we can rate Imatisma bautias sightings, Chicago ranks 7th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Boston (United States, under 5%), Minneapolis [Saint Paul] (United States, under 5%) and Montreal (Canada, under 5%).
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Imatisma bautias that you can see in Chicago (family Syrphidae, Hover Flies) are Margined Calligrapher (about 10%), Narrow-Headed Marsh Fly (about 10%) and Transverse-Banded Flower Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Imatisma bautias is recorded against all the insects logged in Chicago (16 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.
